In ancient epic poems each hero has a characteristic adjective (sometimes more than one) which tells you what his special characteristic is.
Achilles is 'dios': 'godlike' or 'superhuman'.
Odysseus is 'polumekhanos', 'clever' or 'wily'.
Aeneas is 'pius', 'pious' or 'godfearing'.
Aeneas' special strength as a hero is always to submit his personal wishes to the Fate which has been assigned him (as the founder of Rome). This was an important message for the new Imperial state: 'Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.'.
Aeneas follows his fate throughout Book I, and in all the other books.
