After the destruction of Troy, Aeneas and his followers were able to flee to the Italian peninsula. He became the progenitor of the later Romans.
"It is fated, moreover, that he should escape, and that the race of Dardanus, whom Jove loved above all the sons born to him of mortal women, shall not perish utterly without seed or sign.
