Aeneas
Son of Aphrodite
and the Trojan Anchises. When Troy fell, Aeneas managed to escape. He took
his old father on his back, and his son Askanios by his hand and had his wife
Creusa walk behind him. His divine mother helped them out of the city safely.
Somewhere along the way Creusa disappeared, but Aeneas made it safely to Italy.
There, he became the ancestor of Romolus and Remus, the fathers of Rome.
Virgil's "Aenid" is about this hero and his adventurous journey.
