This is an easy-to-read retelling of Christopher Marlowe's DIDO OF CARTHAGE, in which Aeneas, his ships damaged by a storm, lands on the shore of Carthage, which is being built by the Phoenician Dido. Two goddesses cause her to fall in love with Aeneas, but soon Jupiter reminds Aeneas that his destiny is to go to Italy and become an important ancestor of the Roman people. This news devastates Dido.
