Trojan leader and protagonist of a Virgil epic (6)

I believe the answer is:

aeneas

(Other definitions for aeneas that I've seen before include "Trojan hero, son of Venus" , "Old traveller" , "Leader in the Trojan War" , "Mythical Greek warrior who undertook an epic journey" , "Greek hero" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
