What did Aeneas contribute to rome?

According to legend, when Troy fell Aeneas rescued the penates of Troy and carried them to Italy, where eventually they became the penates of Rome.The penates were the gods of a city, in effect the city's soul. A city could only die when its penates had been captured or destroyed. So in taking the penates to Italy Aeneas had rescued the soul of Troy, and when they became the penates of Rome, Rome became Troy's reincarnation.


Who is the patron god of troy?

The main goddess of Troy was Pallas Athena, who had given the City its magical Palladium (a statue of herself inside which the soul of the City lived).Troy could only die as a city if the Palladium was captured or destroyed.When Troy itself was finally fated to fall, the ghost of Hector (the original guardian of the city) appeared to Aeneas (a captain of the city guard) and brought him the Palladium. The ghost of Hector told Aeneas that the Palladium must be taken to a new home in Italy, where the Palladium could belong to a new city, so that the new city would be Troy re-born. (The new city in Italy where the Palladium was the sacred guardian would be Rome).Interestingly this means that the three most famous cities of the ancient world: Troy, Athens, and Rome: were all sacred to Athena. (Athena, Pallas Athena, and Minerva are three aspects of the same goddess).Poseidon (Neptune) was also a special protector of Troy (and of Athens too), but Poseidon's role was secondary to that of Athena.

What does Hector advise Aeneas to do?

During the fall of Troy the ghost of Hector appears to Aeneas and brings him the City penates which he tells Aeneas must be carried to a new city which Aeneas will found in Italy.The penates were the special gods of a city - the soul of that city - and a city only truly died when its penates were destroyed or captured.Hector was the Protector of Troy (there is some evidence that Hector means 'bulwark', and Hector's son - Astyanax - is 'lord of the city'). So there is a religious significance that Hector brings Aeneas the soul of Troy to carry to a new city in Italy.(Astyanax will not survive the fall of Troy, as we discover in Euripides' Trojan Captives).If Aeneas can escape with the penates Troy can live again in a new city (first Lanuvium, then Alba Longa, and finally Rome). As guardian of Troy Hector will protect its penates, even after his death.
