Aeneas was Virgil's epic hero.
It's not clear how the poem was started, or if Virgil was commissioned to do it originally, but Augustus read part of it and ordered Virgil to continue. As it was not finished at his death, Virgil wanted it destroyed, but Augustus overruled him and had it published. So you could loosely say that Virgil wrote the Aeneid for Augustus.
Macrobius says that Virgil's father was of a humble background; however, scholars generally believe that Virgil was from an equestrian landowning family which could afford to give him an education.
Aeneas
Virgil was inspired by the Greek poet Homer, more specifically by his works concerning Odysseus, namely "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey". This can acatually be recognised when closely comparing attributes in Virgil's "the Aeneid" and Homer's epic mentioned before.
