king of See also:Dardanus on Mt. See also:Ida. Here See also:Aphrodite met him and, enamoured of his beauty, See also:bore him See also:Aeneas. For revealing the name of the See also:child's See also:mother, in spite of the warnings of the goddess, he was killed or struck See also:blind by See also:lightning (Hyginus, Fab. 94). In the more See also:recent legend, adopted by See also:Virgil in the Aeneid, he was conveyed out of Troy on the shoulders of his son Aeneas, whose wanderings he followed as far as See also:Sicily, where he died and was buried on Mt. Eryx. On the other See also:hand, there was a See also:grave on Mt. Ida at Troy pointed out as his. From the name Assaracus, from the intercourse between the Phoenicians and the See also:early inhabitants of the See also:Troad, and from the connexion of Aphrodite, the protecting goddess of the Phoenicians, with Anchises, it has been inferred that his family was originally of See also:Assyrian origin. His See also:flight on the shoulders of Aeneas is frequently represented on engraved gems of the See also:Roman See also:period; and his visit from Aphrodite is rendered in a beautiful See also:bronze See also:relief, engraved in Millingen's Unedited Gems.
