In the Aeneid Dido kills herself when Aeneas leaves, but it would be inaccurate to say that he 'scorned' her.
The poem opens with Aeneas and his Trojans shipwrecked on the north African coast. They find the newly-founded city of Carthage and Dido - its queen - offers them succour and the chance to repair their boats.
Aeneas and Dido fall in love, and become lovers. But Aeneas is reminded that it is his destiny to found a city in Italy, and he tells Dido that he must leave.
Dido's first husband was murdered, now her lover is leaving to follow his destiny. The shock is too much for her, and she kills herself.
Aeneas sees the flames of her funeral pyre as his ships reach the open water of the Mediterranean.
