This Greek amphora depicts one of the most touching stories from the life of the Trojan hero Aeneas 🏺

At the end of the Trojan war as the Greeks rampaged through the city, Aeneas saw a vision commanding him to evacuate his family, flee and found a great city overseas.

This scene shows Aeneas in full armour carrying his elderly father, Anchises, to safety.

The exploits of the Trojan hero Aeneas, including this moving story, are recounted in the Aeneid, an epic poem written by the Roman poet Virgil, who was born #OnThisDay in 70 BC 📜
