Aeneas

In Greco-Roman mythology, Aeneas is a Trojan prince and the legendary founder of the Romans. He is the son of Anchises, a member of the Trojan royal family, and the goddess Aphrodite/Venus. Aeneas was one of the few Trojan heroes who escaped the siege of Troy. Afterwards, Aeneas embarked on a seven-year journey most famously recounted in the Aeneid by the Roman poet Virgil (70-19 BCE).
