What heroic deeds does Aeneas accomplish?

The Aeneid recounts Aeneas' journey from Troy to Italy. He first lands in Carthage where he lives with Dido for a period. He then is reminded of his destiny to found Rome, so he leaves and she kills herself. They continue traveling, stopping in Sicily, Italy and Tiber. Aeneas' main heroic deed was founding the city of Rome.


How many ships were left after the women burned them in the Aeneid?

After the women burn the ships only four remain in repairable state. This is why Aeneas has to leave the old, the infirm, and the women on Sicily. (Leaving the women behind on Sicily is necessary to the story, since it makes it obligatory for the Trojans to marry local girls when the get to Lavinum later on). But there is a problem with the story at this point. Four ships were raced earlier in this section, as part of the games to commemorate the first anniversary of Anchises' death. One of the ships was badly damaged in the race, but there seems no obvious way of explaining how the other three got back to the main berth (on the beach) so that the women could burn them. If Vergil had lived long enough to complete the poem, he might have rectified minor conundrums like this one.
