Why did Aeneas leave Carthage?

Dido realized that Aeneas would leave Carthage in order to fulfill his destiny. She placed a bitter curse on Aeneas, his progenitors, so they will be cursed enemies in the future. This was realised centuries later by the Hannibal's campaign.



The same goes for Aeneas.

Plot Overview. Aeneas, his fellow Trojans, and their home city, Troy, are escaping to the Mediterranean Sea. They sail towards Italy, where Aeneas will be able to found Rome. A fierce storm hurls them off course as they approach their destination and lands them in Carthage.

Another question that might be asked is, "What did Aeneas do during Carthage?" Aeneas was a descendant of Hector and a member the royal line at Troy. He was second only to Hector in his ability to defend his city against the Greeks in the Trojan War.

Another question that may be asked is, "What does Dido do after Aeneas leaves Carthage?"

Dido tells her that she can get rid of Aeneas by burning his clothes and weapons, as well as the bed they slept on. Anna agrees, but she doesn't realize Dido is actually planning her own death by setting up her own funeral pyre. Dido's grief makes her unable to sleep as night falls.

Why did Aeneas leave Troy for Troy?

Some believe that Aeneas lied to the city of Troy and that Achaeans allowed his family to leave the city because of this service. They claim that Aeneas was exempted from King Priam 1's prerogatives and his son Paris, who could have been considered to succeed his father after Hector's death.
