Dido's lover (6)
I believe the answer is:
aeneas
'dido's lover' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for aeneas that I've seen before include "Virgil hero" , "Mythical Greek warrior who undertook an epic journey" , "Legendary Trojan warrior" , "Virgil's Trojan hero" , "Mythological Trojan hero" .)
