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.
