Why does Juno hate Aeneas?
First and foremost, Juno hates Aeneas because he is a Trojan. The Trojan War began with the Judgement of Paris. Paris, a Trojan prince determined that Venus was the best goddess of all over Pallas Athena and Juno. Venus rewarded Paris with the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen, a Greek princess. Well, Helen's husband invaded Troy to get his wife back. The gods chose sides in the war, and Juno was on the side of the Greeks. Juno also hates Aeneas because he is the hero that will defeat her kingdom. Juno loves Queen Dido and her kingdom of Carthage, but Fate foretells that Aeneas will come and create an empire that will defeat Carthage. Juno tries to keep Aeneas away from Italy, but in the end surrenders to Fate and helps Aeneas in his quest.
What did Aeneas do?
Legendary Roman hero, theRomans traced their history back to Aeneas and Aeneas was a Trojan hero who left Troy after the Trojan War , eventually settling in Italy
How long and why did Aeneas and his men sail back and forth across the mediterranea?
Aeneas is a complex character who symbolizes the connection which the poet, Vergil, wishes to draw between ancient Troy and imperial Rome. His voyage comprises the first six books of the Aeneid and is Vergil's version of Homer's Odyssey. The Trojans' voyage lasts ten years, which time includes the building of the navy and the time in Carthage, both of which are lengthy. The ten years of transiency connects Aeneas symbolically to Odysseus, though the two characters differ in that, whereas Odysseus is traveling home (his past), Aeneas is traveling into the unknown (his future). Thus, the two narratives differ in that Aeneas cannot remember where he is going (to a country he has never visited, for a wife he does not know and a city he will not found), while Odysseus is recalling his way home to wife and country.
Did any Trojans survive the Trojan War?
They were taken home as slaves by their conquerors, or sold locally and the proceeds distributed.There is a 1st Century BCE story (a thousand years later) that Aeneas was able to flee Troy as it was being sacked, along with a small group of people (in the movie Troy, at the end you see Aeneas with his father on his back, getting out the back gate - setting up the sequel - wait for it). His progeny were supposedly responsible for the founding of Rome. Read The Aeneid. Julius Caesar claimed descent from Aeneas, and therefore descent from Venus who was Aeneas' mother.
Who slays Aeneas' wife?
When the Greeks enter Troy (as a result of Ulysses' Wooden Horse trick) Aeneas at first attempts to organise a commando to repel the invaders. But Hector (now dead) appears to Aeneas in a vision. Hector tells Aeneas that Troy must fall, and that Aeneas' role is to escape with his family and found a 'new Troy' (Rome) in Italy. So Aeneas goes back to his mansion and collects his family (his father Anchises, his wife Creusa, and his son Ascanius). Aeneas then attempt to lead this small family group through the burning ruins of Troy to the beach (where they will later give the Greek armies the slip and sail away in twenty salvaged ships). But while walking through the burning town. Aeneas loses touch with Creusa - and she dies in the flames. Creusa later appears to Aeneas in a vision. She tells him to continue his quest to Italy where he will found a great empire.

What cause the punic war?
By about 270 BC, Rome and Carthage had become two powerful cities that each sought to expand their territory throughout the Mediterranean. Rome, with her powerful armies, took control of Italy and began expanding into what is now southern France and northern Spain. Carthage, with her powerful navies, took control of southern Spain and islands like Sardinia and the Balearic islands. It was virtually inevitable that the two powers would wind up fighting.The First Punic War started as Rome and Carthage began taking control of the island of Sicily. A mercenary army took control of part of Sicily, and then got into a fight with Syracuse, which was a powerful city in its own right. Afraid of being attacked by Syracuse, the mercenaries begged both Rome and Carthage for help (Rome and Carthage had previously been allies in a recent war against a Greek king named Pyrrhus). Carthage sent help first but when Carthage started taking over their town, the mercenaries begged Rome to help- which Rome reluctantly agreed to do, and they sent an army to assist. The war had begun.The Second Punic War started a little over 20 years after the end of the first one. Rome had won the first war, and imposed a harsh peace upon Carthage. Part of the settlement divided Spain between Rome and Carthage; a small river marked the border between their territories. Fearing Carthage's growing power in Spain, Rome allied with a city-state on Carthage's side of the river. Carthage's legendary general Hannibal attacked and conquered the city, which started the war; he then famously marched his army- including elephants- over the Alps and into Italy.The Third Punic War started about fifty years after the end of the second war. In the treaty ending the second war, Carthage agreed to pay a lot of money to Rome every year for the next fifty years; also, if Carthage needed to go to war, they were required to ask for Rome's permission first. After the fifty years of payments ended, Carthage believed that they no longer needed to request Rome's permission to go to war anymore. When Carthage subsequently got stuck in a war with one of their neighbors, Rome declared that Carthage had broken the treaty. Rome, knowing they would easily defeat Carthage this time, kept making unreasonable demands to ensure that negotiations to prevent a war would fail; when the negotiations did fail, Rome declared war and sent a massive army to attack Carthage.
Why did Hannibal leave Italy and go back to Carthage?
Roman Scipio Africanus had shipped an army to North Africa to threaten Carthage.

Was Cato right to call Carthage a threat?
Carthage was so resilient that it bounced back each time Rome defeated it. If we accept that the troubles were over control of the Western Mediterranean, Carthage was certainly a threat to that Roman ambition.

Who was the writer who traced the ancestry of the emperor Augusts back to Aeneas?
That was Vergil (Virgil) in his epic poem the Aeneid.
What made Hannibal flee Italy and go back to Carthage?
He didn't flee, he was recalled to face a Roman invasion force led by Scipio Africanis threatening Carthage.
What Roman Heroes are famed for their self-sacrifice?
There are probably a few heroes who would fit this category. Part of Roman psychology included sacrificing self for the good of the state. I'll talk about one of the most famous, Aeneas (as told in the Aeneid by Virgil).Aeneas fled the fall of Troy in order to come to Italy and found Rome. His wife, Creusa, died during the escape. He sees her ghost, telling him he must not turn back and look for her (which is what he wants to do) but must give her up so that he can escape.Later, Aeneas is shipwrecked in Carthage and marries (sort of) Dido, the queen. However, he must leave Dido to go on to Italy. Again, he his sacrificing his wishes for the greater purpose of the founding of Rome.

His progeny were supposedly responsible for the founding of Rome. Read The Aeneid. Julius Caesar claimed descent from Aeneas, and therefore descent from Venus who was Aeneas' mother.
What is the Aeneid about?
The Aeneid is about the adventures of Aeneas after the Fall of Troy. He was forced to flee with his father and his son, but his wife was lost in the chaos. With them and other fugitives, he tried to fulfill his prophecy of becoming a great ruler in Italy, but Juno (the goddess) hated him just because he was Trojan, so she got Aeolus (king of the winds) to create a giant storm around all of his ships. Neptune (god of water) stepped in and got rid of the winds and only one of the ships sunk in the storm. However, the storm pushed them all to Libya instead of Italy and they land near Carthage. Queen Dido (of Carthage) welcomes the Trojans with open arms, especially Aeneas. Initially, the Trojans were just going to get some supplies and go, but Dido fell in love with Aeneas and so the Trojans were reluctant to leave. A few years later, Zeus sent Hermes (messenger of the gods) to Aeneas in a dream to remind him of his prophecy and get him to go to Italy. He immediately starts preparing the ships to leave without telling Dido. When she finds out, she is furious at him, but she can't convince him to stay, so she gets her sister to help her build a funeral pyre full of everything Aeneas left in Carthage, intending to burn it all, even their bed. When she sees the Trojan ships leaving off in the distance, she is overcome with sorrow, and she commits suicide by stabbing herself and falling onto the pyre. Eventually, Aeneas is told that he has to visit the underworld for advice from his now dead father before proceeding, and with Sibyl's (an oracle) help, he makes it into the underworld. He sees several lost friends and he sees Dido, who refuses to acknowledge him and merely turns and goes back to her first husband, who was dead before she met Aeneas. His father warns him of the upcoming war and Aeneas goes to Italy. There, he meets King Latinus and his daughter Lavinia. Another prophecy states that Lavinia must marry a foreigner, which is why King Latinus believes he should break his promise to King Turnus, who was supposed to marry Lavinia, and give his daughter to Aeneas instead. Juno's back and she doesn't like that Aeneas is going to be happy, so she sends Allecto (a fury) to Italy to enrage everyone and start a violent war over Lavinia. Aeneas goes to look for allies and he finds King Evander, who gives him troops and his own son, Pallas, to fight against Turnus. Pallas becomes like a second son to Aeneas. Later, Turnus kills Pallas in battle and steals his belt as a war prize. When Aeneas and Turnus finally face off in the end of the book, Aeneas overpowers Turnus and debates whether he should kill him or not. Turnus gives a brave farewell speech at swordpoint and Aeneas considers not killing him, but then he sees Pallas' belt on Turnus and he kills him in a rage. Virgil died before finishing the book, so that's where it ends. I'm a student in AP Latin, so I've had to read this entire poem and this is it's summary.
