ASCANIUS

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 716 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ASCANIUS , in Roman legend, the son of Aeneas by Creusa or Lavinia. From Livy it would appear that tradition recognized two sons of Aeneas called by this name, the one the son of his Trojan, the other of' his Latin wife. According to the usual account, he accompanied his father to
Italy
  on his flight from Troy. On the death of Aeneas, the government of Latium was left in the hands of Lavinia, Ascanius being too
young
  to under-take it. After thirty years he left
Lavinium
 , and founded Alba Longa. Ascanius was also called Ilus and
Iulus
 , and the
Julian
  gens claimed to be descended from him. Several more or less contradictory traditions may be found in
Dionysius
  of
Halicarnassus
 , Strabo and other writers.
Virg. Aen. ii. 666; Livy i. 3; see also Klausen. Aeneas and die Penaten (184o).
