lol, I did a bit more reading, and I'd forgotten: Achilles and Patroclus played a bigger role in the Iliad than in the Odyssey. But that was in college. We didn't do the Aeneid, because of course it's Latin, and from much, much later. Aeneas played a bit part in the Iliad, but didn't come into his own till Virgil got to work.
In the end, Aeneas and a few vanquished Trojans who escapes the burning city. They end up as the ancestors of the Romans.
His marriage to Dido, Queen of Carthage, ended badly.
