Aeneas

AFRODISSIAS (Ancient city) VOION
For when Aeneas was voyaging to Sicily, he put in with his ships to Laconia, becoming the founder of the cities Aphrodisias and Etis; his father Anchises for some reason or other came to this place and died there, where Aeneas buried him. (Perseus Project - Paus. 8.12.8)

Aeneas

  Son of Aphrodite and the Trojan Anchises. When Troy fell, Aeneas managed to escape. He took his old father on his back, and his son Askanios by his hand and had his wife Creusa walk behind him. His divine mother helped them out of the city safely.
  Somewhere along the way Creusa disappeared, but Aeneas made it safely to Italy. There, he became the ancestor of Romolus and Remus, the fathers of Rome.
  Virgil's “Aenid” is about this hero and his adventurous journey.
