Vergil left the Aeneid incomplete at his death in 19 BC. He seems to have been working on the poem for at least ten years.
Vergil left instructions that the poem should be destroyed if he died before it was finished. Luckily his executors ignored this codicil.
He wrote The Aeneid.
He may not have been told by anyone to write the Aeneid. It was, however, Emperor Augustus who ordered it to be published.
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.
The Aeneid is a literary work by Virgil. It did not travel.
