Excerpt from A First Latin Reader
At the capture of Troy not all the Trojans were killed or wounded. Aeneas escaped, carrying his father on his shoulders and leading his small son by the hand, and he was accompanied by a considerable band of followers. They fled first to Mount Ida, then to Thrace, from there to Sicily, and then landed in Africa, where Aeneas married Dido, the queen of Carthage. But by the orders Of Jupiter Aeneas had to set sail again, and finally he reached the Tiber and landed in Latium, a district to the south of the river. After much fighting against Turnus, the prince of the Rutuli, and against the Latins, Aeneas killed Turnus, and Latium was occupied by the Trojans.
These adventures of Aeneas and his followers are described by the Roman poet, Virgil, in the Aeneid.
