After many battles, Aeneas and Turnus face off in a final duel where Aeneas emerges victorious, fulfilling his destiny to establish Rome.

Greek and roman mythology
Greek and Roman mythology describes the origins of the world and the gods and goddesses that inhabit it. The myths explain natural phenomena and provide insight into ancient cultures' views of humanity. According to myth, in the beginning there was only chaos until Love brought order. Earth and sky were formed, and the first gods, the Titans, emerged. The most powerful gods, the Olympians, overthrew the Titans and ruled the world from Mount Olympus, led by Zeus. The myths feature a pantheon of deities with distinct personalities and domains, from Hera and Poseidon to Apollo and Aphrodite, as well as other mythical creatures like the Muses, Furies, and Centaurs.
