Aeneas (Greco-Roman character)

Note: Mythical hero of Troy and Rome, son of the goddess Aphrodite and Anchises. Aeneas was a member of the royal line at Troy and cousin of Hector. He played a prominent part in defending his city against the Greeks during the Trojan War. The association of Homeric heroes with Italy and Sicily goes back to the 8th century BCE, when Homer’s epic poems likely became written texts, and the Greek colonies founded there in that and the next century frequently claimed descent from leaders in the Trojan War.

Display Date: before 8th century BCE
