Aeneas finds refuge in the court of Dido from "summary" of Aeneid by Virgil,Frederick Ahl
After enduring many hardships at sea, Aeneas, the Trojan hero, finally finds himself on the shores of Carthage. There, he is welcomed by Queen Dido, the magnificent ruler of the city. Dido, moved by Aeneas' tale of woe and his noble lineage, offers him and his men refuge within her court. Aeneas, grateful for Dido's generosity, accepts her hospitality and becomes a guest in her opulent palace. As he settles into life in Carthage, Aeneas begins to form a deep bond with the queen, sharing stories of his past adventures and experiences. Dido, in turn, is captivated by Aeneas' bravery and charisma, finding herself drawn to him in a way she never expected. As Aeneas and Dido spend more time together, their friendship blossoms into something more. The queen, touched by Aeneas' kindness and strength, begins to see him as a potential partner and confidant. Aeneas, too, finds himself drawn to Dido's beauty and intelligence, feeling a connection that transcends mere friendship. Despite their growing affection for one another, both Aeneas and Dido are wary of giving in to their feelings. Aeneas, burdened by his duty to fulfill his destiny and found a new homeland for his people, knows that he cannot stay in Carthage forever. Dido, meanwhile, is haunted by the memory of her deceased husband and the responsibilities of her royal position. As Aeneas and Dido navigate the complexities of their relationship, tensions begin to rise within the court of Carthage. Rumors spread, and whispers of scandal and betrayal threaten to tear apart the fragile bond between the queen and the hero. Amidst this turmoil, Aeneas must make a difficult decision – whether to follow his heart and stay with Dido, or to heed the call of fate and continue his journey towards Rome.
