Best Answer

When Troy falls the ghost of Hector (Hector was the main guardian of Troy) appears to Aeneas (a senior commander in the Trojan army) and hands him the city penates.

The penates were the gods who guarded a city; a city only truly died when its penates were destroyed or captured.

Aeneas is told that he must find a new home for the penates, he must build a new city where Troy can live again.

After many adventures Aeneas reaches Italy, where he marries Lavinia - the daughter of Latinus - and founds the city of Lavinium.

In time Aeneas' son Ascanius leaves Lavinium to found Alba Longa.

After several generations Romulus and Remus are born in Alba Longa when their mother Rhea Silvia is raped by the god Mars. Rhea is ritually murdered, but Romulus and Remus escape to later found Rome, where the penates will find their new home, and where Troy is finally reborn.

Was Aeneas justified in killing Turnus in the Aeneid?

Throughout the Aeneid Aeneas follows the will of the Gods (which is also Fate). Aeneas is fated to kill Turnus, so that the Roman race can establish itself in Italy. It is Aeneas' duty to follow his destiny, since resisting destiny is to resist the will of the gods. Vergil in many ways has ideas which closely anticipate the thinking of the Christians who would arrive a few generations later. The idea of submitting one's personal desires to the will of god is very Christian. (Aeneas does it by leaving Dido, Christ did it in the Garden of Gethsemane).
