🔱Aeneas is a hero destined to found Rome, chosen by the gods to fulfill his fate.
🌊Juno, the queen of the gods, tries to hinder Aeneas' journey by inciting a storm to sink his fleet, but Neptune intervenes.
🌹Aeneas and his men land in Carthage, ruled by Queen Dido, where they seek refuge and are welcomed.
💑Venus, Aeneas' mother and the love goddess, uses her son Cupid to make Dido fall in love with Aeneas.
🏛️Virgil's Aeneid draws inspiration from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and presents Aeneas as a symbol of Roman virtue, leading to the prediction of long-lasting peace under Augustus Caesar.
