Summary
It's (finally) time... Aeneas, the hero founder of Rome, exile from Troy, son of Venus, hated by Juno... He's lived quite the life. Here's part one of it.
CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
Sources: The Homeric Hymns (the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite) translated by Susan C. Shelmerdine; The Aeneid, translated by David Ferry.
