The Journey of Aeneas from Troy to Rome — View Full-Size Image

A map illustrating the epic journey of Aeneas, a Trojan hero (according to Virgil's poem The Aeneid) who, destined to found Rome, flees Troy after its fall and, much like Odysseus, spends years wandering the Mediterranean. He encounters the Cyclopes, loses his father, falls in love with Dido, Queen of Carthage, betrays her (and, if the legend is to be believed - sows the seeds of the Punic Wars of the future), descends into the Underworld, loses friends and battles enemies in Italy.
