Bio There
are two versions of Dido's story:
- When Dido's husband is killed by her brother,
she leaves Greece [Carthage
was originally a Phoenician colony] for North Africa and founds
Carthage. She escapes a local suitor, who is no doubt
after her wealth as well as her lovely self, with a public suicide.
- There is another sad version to Dido's
tale in Virgil's Aeniad. This time Aeneas (son
of Aphrodite) loves and dumps
Dido on his not very direct route from the fall of Troy to his founding of Rome.
Virgil wanted to connect Rome's founding with Homer's Greek
gods and heroes. He also wanted to keep the emperor of
Rome, Caesar Augustus (Octavian), happy. Nancy
| In the Jo Graham's novel, Black Ships, she says Carthage wasn't founded until well after the fall of Troy, so the Dido character is an Egyptian princess! The book is good anyway. Nancy |

If you never had to read The Aeneid in school,
now's a good time to improve your mind. It's not only a genuine
classic and a great story (Aeneas and his son escape Homer's Troy only to find
adventure AND contribute to the founding of Rome), but a nice piece of Roman propaganda. Virgil wrote this
and other works at the behest of the Emperor Augustus who wanted to give
Romans a better and finer image. Nancy
