I believe the answer is:

aeneas

(Other definitions for aeneas that I've seen before include "Virgil's Trojan hero" , "'Mythical Greek warrior, leader in the TrojanWar (6)'" , "Legendary Trojan wanderer" , "Trojan hero, son of Venus" , "Mythological Trojan hero" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
