Æneas
Family: barbarian · Role: hero · First appears: Book 2 · Chapter 23
In Book 2, Æneas carried the Palladium from Ilium to Italy. In Book 3, while fleeing to Italy and driven by storms into a bay, his daughter Etias gave her name to Etis, one of two ancient towns said to have been built by Æneas.
In Book 5, Æneas was set opposite Diomede. Book 6 names Thrasybulus as the son of Æneas. Book 7 says that something had been left behind by Æneas when he fled from Ilium. Later, while crossing to Sicily, Æneas landed in Laconia and founded Aphrodisias and Etis; his father Anchises also came there, died, and was buried at the foot of the mountain named Anchisia after him.
