Extrait du document
Greek A Trojan prince or king loved
by the goddess Aphrodite, who bore him a son,
Aeneas. When Anchises boasted that a goddess had
loved him, the great god Zeus struck him blind or
lame (stories differ). His son, Aeneas, carried him
away from the burning city of Troy on his shoulders.
This story is told in Virgil's Aeneid and is the subject
of works of art by Italian artists Giovanni Bernini
(1598–1680) and Raphael (1483–1520).
