To provide Rome and Augustus with a suitably grand founding myth
The Aeneid is a literary work by Virgil. It did not travel.
Augustus
He wrote The Aeneid.
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.
He may not have been told by anyone to write the Aeneid. It was, however, Emperor Augustus who ordered it to be published.
The main character in Virgil's Aeneid is 'Aeneas'.
