Aenēis is a Latin equivalent of the English name "Aeneid." The masculine proper noun most famously references the epic poem written about Aeneas, son of Prince Anchises of Troy and the love goddess Aphrodite and paternal great-grandson of Ilus, founder of tragic Troy. The pronunciation will be "eye-NEY-ihs" in Church and classical Latin.
In the Aeneid Aeneas, the hero of the Trojan War, was the ancestor of Romulus and Remus. His son Ascaius finded the city of Alba Longa and its dynasty. The twins were the sons of Rhea Silvia, the daughter of Numitor, the king who had been dethroned by his brother Amulius.In book 6 of the Aeneid, Aeneas visits his father Anchises in the underworld, who tells him that his descendant Romulus will found the city of Rome, which will eventually be ruled by Caesar Augustus:
A prophecy has told Aeneas that he must visit the Cumaean Sibyl (a prehistoric oracular priestess who lived in a cave near modern Naples) and persuade her to escort him into Hell where he will meet his dead father Anchises. Anchises in turn will tell Aeneas secrets about the future of Rome. The actual reason why Aeneas visits the underworld is so that Vergil can give Anchises a prophecy which foretells the future greatness of Rome, and particularly what a wonderful reign the emperor Augustus will have. (Augustus was emperor at the time that the Aeneid was composed).
Aeneas and Anchises are convinced to leave Troy after a series of devastating events, including the fall of the city to the Greeks despite their efforts to defend it, the death of many Trojan leaders, and the intervention of the gods signaling that Troy's destiny has come to an end. Additionally, Aeneas receives a divine message from his mother, Venus, instructing him to flee the city and seek a new homeland to fulfill his destiny.
