Aeneads

Aeneads

In Roman mythology, the Aeneads (Αἰνειάδες in Greek) were the friends, family and companions of Aeneas, with whom they fled from Troy after the Trojan War. Virgil also used the word as a synonym of "Trojan", a person from Troy.

The Aeneads included:
*Achates
*Acmon
*Anchises
*Ascanius
*Iapyx
*the Lares
*Mimas
*Misenus
*the Penates
*Sergestus

Similarly, "Aeneades" (Ancient Greek: polytonic|Αινείαδες) was a patronymic from Aeneas, and applied as a surname to those who were believed to have been descended from him, such as Ascanius, Augustus, and the Romans in general.

"Aenides" was another patronymic from Aeneas, which is applied by Valerius Flaccus to the in­habitants of Cyzicus, [Valerius Flaccus, iii. 4.] whose town was believed to have been founded by Cyzicus, the son of Aeneas and Aenete. [Citation
