Didos Carthage and the Trojan Exile Tale
Pygmalion's harsh rule prompts Dido to found Carthage after aiding Aeneas and his Trojan refuges. Aeneas recounts Troy's fall and his voyage, including storms, divine interventions, and the dream of Rome. He accepts Dido's hospitality, plotting onward to Hesperia but fate and Mercury push him toward Rome. Dido's love ends in tragedy as she dies on a funeral pyre.
