Aeneas

Aeneas is a legendary Trojan hero in Greco-Roman mythology, son of the goddess Aphrodite (Venus) and Prince Anchises. Though a minor figure in Homer's Iliad, he becomes the central protagonist of Virgil's Aeneid, where he is depicted as the destined founder of the Roman people and an ancestor of Romulus and Remus. His epic journey from fallen Troy to Italy embodies core Roman virtues like piety and duty.
