There were a number of survivors of the Trojan War, among both Achaeans and Trojans. Generally, when Achaean survivors are numbered, only those who survived the Returns are listed. Disregarding the issue of longevity of life following the Returns, any list of survivors would have to include the Atridae (Agamemnon and Menelaus), Nestor and his son Thrasymedes, Neoptolemus, Diomedes, and Odysseus. Helen was reunited with Menelaus. Calchas and Amphiaraus survived, but never returned home. Among the Trojan survivors were the captive women, including Andromache and Cassandra. Antenor, who was spared by the Achaeans, was able to gather a sufficient number of survivors to comprise a burial party. Chief among Trojan survivors is Aeneas, who fled burning Troy in the company of his father Anchises and son Ascanius. According to Greek tradition, Aeneas rebuilt Troy, perpetuating the dynasty of Dardanus. Roman tradition envisioned a "New Troy."
