Queen Dido and Aeneas

In the Aeneid, Virgil shows that Queen Dido, already a widow, founded the city of Birsa, later was called Carthage. One day she received Aeneas, after his shipwreck, and fell in love with him. Their long period of intimacy ended when Jupiter sent Hermes to remind Aeneas that he should go to the Italian Peninsula. With the grief of separation Dido stabbed and threw herself into the funeral pyre that she had prepared.

Virgílio indica na Eneida que a rainha Dido, já viúva, fundou a cidade de Birsa que posteriormente se chamou Cartago. Certo dia recebeu Eneias após o seu naufrágio e apaixonou-se por ele. Muitos meses de convívio terminaram porque Júpiter enviou Hermes para lembrar Eneias que devia dirigir-se à península Itálica. Com o desgosto da separação Dido apunhala-se e atira-se para a pira funerária que preparara.

Eneias abandona Tróia (Aeneas leaves Troy)

Seria filho do mortal Anquises e de Afrodite. Homero conta na Ilíada a sua versão da vida de Eneias em Tróia. Sua mãe salvou-o ao ser ferido por Diomedes e Poseidão evitou a sua derrota por Aquiles. Fugiu da sua cidade após o incêndio. Virgílio dedicou-lhe o poema 'Eneida' como fundador de Roma. Percorreu diversos locais do Mediterrâneo. Conviveu com a rainha Dido em Cartago.


He is said to be the son of Anchises and Aphrodite. In the Iliad Homer tells his version of Aeneas’ life in Troy. His mother saved him when he was wounded by Diomedes and Poseidon prevented him from being defeated by Achilles. He fled his city after the fire. Virgil dedicated the poem "Aeneid" to Aeneas, considered the founder of Rome. He toured several places in the Mediterranean. He lived with Queen Dido in Carthage.
