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.
AeneasAnswer 2Greek mythology did not bother with Romans. Aeneas belongs to the Roman mythology.
Aeneas
The human race founded by Aeneas is often referred to as the Romans. According to Roman mythology, Aeneas, a Trojan hero, is said to have traveled to Italy after the fall of Troy and established a lineage that would lead to the founding of Rome. His descendants, particularly Romulus and Remus, are traditionally credited with the establishment of the city of Rome. Aeneas's journey and legacy are detailed in Virgil's epic poem, the "Aeneid."
really not a race but a city...rome(Romans so i guess it was a race lol)
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).
the awnser is Aeneas

You are thinking of Aeneas, the hero of Vergil's epic the Aeneid.
Lavinia

Aeneas.
Her most famous son would be Eros (Cupid), the mischievous god of love. After that, the next most famous son of hers would probably be Aeneas, the founder of the Roman race.
Aeneas is credited with founding the Roman race primarily due to his pivotal role in Virgil's epic poem, the "Aeneid," which portrays him as a Trojan hero destined to establish a new homeland in Italy after the fall of Troy. His journey symbolizes the convergence of Greek and Roman cultures, as he brings with him the ideals of duty, piety, and leadership. Additionally, Aeneas is depicted as an ancestor of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome, further cementing his status as a foundational figure in Roman mythology and history.

A reason not mentioned was that Juno's husband, Jupiter, had an affair with Electra, a star-goddess. A child was the result of the affair - Dardanus - and he was the founder of the Trojan race.
