Ascanius, the young son of Aeneas, plays a significant role in the epic tale of Aeneas Flees from Troy. In Stories from Virgil - Dido and the False Ascanius, we witness how his identity is used to deceive Queen Dido. The fire in the borgo fresco captures a pivotal moment as Aeneas escapes with his father Anchises and his beloved son Ascanius. Amidst this rich tapestry of mythological narratives, we encounter various species that bear the name Ascanius. The Fluminense swallowtail butterfly, Anteros acheus, and Parides agavus all showcase nature's homage to this legendary figure. Artistic renditions further immortalize Ascanius' presence. In Aeneas Flight from Troy painting, oil on canvas brings forth the intensity of their escape. Similarly, Giambattista Tiepolo's masterpiece depicts Aeneas introducing Cupid disguised as Ascanius to Dido—a scene brimming with intrigue and passion. Beyond mythology lies reality; Cercopithecus ascanius or Red-tailed monkey reminds us that even our natural world embraces this name. With its vibrant red tail contrasting against its black-cheeked white-nosed appearance, it captivates observers worldwide. In another artistic representation titled "Ascanius shooting the stag of Sylvia, " pen & ink with wash on paper transports us back in time to witness an act of bravery by this young hero. The Flight of Venus engraving showcases a celestial connection between Venus herself and her cherished grandson Ascanius—an ethereal bond that transcends mortal existence. Lastly, let us not forget how Aeneas flees burning Troy carrying both his aged father Anchises on his shoulders while leading little Julus by hand—this iconic image captured through chromolithography serves as a testament to familial love and determination amidst chaos.
