Europa-Mittelmeer–Aeneas ( Gründung Roms)

Aeneas was a central figure in Roman mythology and the main character in Virgil’s epic poem “Aeneid”. He was the son of the goddess of love Venus and the Trojan prince Anchises and was regarded as the founder of Rome. Mythological tales based on Homer tell of Aeneas’ rescue from the sinking Troy and his journey to the west. According to legend, Aeneas’ journeys from Troy ultimately led to the founding of the city of Alba Longa, from which Rome would one day emerge.
