The story of Dido and Aeneas is a tragic tale from Virgil's epic, the "Aeneid." Aeneas, a Trojan hero, washes ashore in Carthage, where he meets Dido, the widowed queen. They fall in love, but Aeneas is destined to continue his journey to found Rome, leading to Dido's heartbreak. Ultimately, when Aeneas leaves her, Dido is devastated and takes her own life, cursing him and ensuring a lasting enmity between their peoples.
