If you're talking about Virgil's Aeneid, then:
Virgil set the Aeneid at the end of the Trojan War whereby Troy was destroyed by the Greeks and Aeneas escapes the carnage with a few other Trojans.

Hello!
I suppose you mean Aeneid of Virgil!
Aenias, a Greek hero fought in the side of the Trojans, he left Troy with the two boats Odysseus and Agamemnon gave him. He went through Epirus and went to Venice. From there he left to Etruria, where Rome was developed. Aeneas was studied a lot from 4th Century BC to 2nd Century AD.
The grandson of Aeneas, Brutus after the advice of the Greek Oracle of Melite, about 32 centuries ago, he founded the New troy, "Trinovandrum", where London is now, by the Thames river!
