SUMMARY
Aeneas, a mythical hero and son of Anchises and Aphrodite, was the bravest hero of the Trojans besides Hector. Information about his origin and his action can be found in Homer as well as later poets, such as Virgil, and folklorists. Although he participated in the Trojan war, the narrations of his voyages to Greece, Italy and Sicily are more common. His name has been associated with the establishment of several cities, such as Lavinium and Rome. |
