Aeneas (Greek: Αινείας； Aeneas, a Trojan hero, was the son of the mortal Anchises I and the goddess Aphrodite. After the fall of Troy, Aeneas ran away with his family and drifted for several years before arriving on the Italian peninsula.

Traveling in the Four Directions
Aeneas chose to flee the city of Troy due to its fall. [1] Aeneas sailed to Thrace after building his fleet in Antandrus and encountered the ghost of Polydorus III. Then, he was received by King Anius on Tiro Island and attempted to settle in Crete, but was unsuccessful. Later, Aeneas stopped in the Strophades Islands and Zachinsos Island and drove over Ithaca to Buterinti, located in Epirus. He crossed Tarentum, Lacinium, and the Sicilian coast from there to Italy. Aeneas lost his father when he first arrived in Drepanum. He sailed from Drapanum to Carthage and met Queen Dido there. After falling in love with the queen, he returned to Derepanam and later crossed the border to Italy. At Kumai, he entered the underworld. Not long after, he ended his trip at the port of Caieta. In the end, Aeneas married Lavinia II, the daughter of King Latinus I of Latin America, and their son Silvius became the ruler of Albalonga.

To become a god after death
The situation of Aeneas' death is still uncertain. Some say that Aeneas disappeared in a battle with Mezantius (an ally of Tunus); Some people say that Aeneas died in Thrace and never arrived in Italy; Some people say that after settling in Italy, he returned to his hometown to become the King of Troy and left the kingdom after his death, leaving it to his son Ascanius. Legend has it that Aphrodite demanded that Zeus grant Aeneas eternal life. Zeus agreed to her request, and the river god Numidchus washed away the mortal part of Aeneas, while Aphrodite smeared his body with nectar and fairy fruit. Aeneas was reborn as a deity, and later people worshipped him under the name of 'Indiges'.

In the Iliad, Aeneas commanded Dardan (the ally of Troy) and was also one of the main generals of the Trojan prince Hector. The poem records that Aeneas' mother Aphrodite often appeared to help on the battlefield, and he was also the favorite of the archer Apollo. When Diomedes was about to kill Aeneas on the battlefield, he was taken by Aphrodite and Apollo to Pergamo for healing. Although he was not the eldest son of the royal family, as he would inherit the throne of Troy in the future, the sea god Poseidon, who usually stood on the Greek side, would also help him escape death in a duel with Achilles. (Iliad, xx. 308).
At the beginning of the Annals of Aeneas, it is recorded that after the fall of Troy by Greece, Aeneas gathered a group of people, known as Aeneads, who fled from Troy to present-day Italy and became the ancestors of the Romans. Misenus, the speaker of Yanis, his father Anchises, his friends Achates, Sergestus, and Acmon, physician Iapyx, his son Ascanius, and his guide Mimas. He arrived in Italy with statues of the family guardian god Lares and the family god Pentates from Troy.

This group of people stopped in Sicily again on the way and was treated by the local king Akestes (the son of the river god Klinisus, Crinisus, and the woman of Dardanelles). When the ship left, Achaemenides, a member of Odysseus' fleet, also joined them.
On the journey, Aeneas and his companions landed in Carthage. Aeneas had a brief romance with Queen Elisha of Carthage (also known as Tito). Tito proposed that these Trojans settle in Carthage and be jointly ruled by her and Aeneas. But the head of the gods, Jupiter (equivalent to Zeus in Greek mythology), sent an envoy, Mercury, to remind Aeneas of the significance of his journey and suggest that he quietly leave Carthage to continue his journey. When Tito found out that the group had left, she built a cremation mound for herself. Standing on the mound, she issued a famous curse, causing the Carthaginians to forever oppose the Trojans. Then she stabbed herself in the chest with a knife. After landing on Sicily again, Aeneas' fleet arrived in Kumai. Aeneas, led by Sibyl, entered the underworld and found his father Anchises, as well as Queen Dido. Dido has reunited with her Tyr husband and refuses to speak to Aeneas.

Shortly after arriving in Italy, Aeneas went to war with the city of Falerii. The King of Latin, Latinus, welcomed the Aeneas army who had escaped from the Battle of Troy and allowed them to live again in the Latin Plains. Lavinia, the daughter of the Latin king, was originally betrothed to Turnus, the king of Rutuli, but Latinus received an oracle stating that Lavinia would marry a person from a different place, named Aeneas. Latinus was very concerned about this oracle, and as a result, at Juno's strong request, Tunus joined forces with Tarchon, the king of the Etruscans, and Amata, the queen of Latin, to declare war on Aeneas. In the end, Aeneas' army achieved ultimate victory, while Tunus died on the battlefield. So Aeneas established a city and named it "Lavinium" after his wife. Shortly after, Aeneas took over Anna Perenna, the sister of Tito, but Anna committed suicide when she learned that Ravinia was jealous.
