	Dido the Queen falls in love with Aeneas after he tells his story of war at Troy. She then wants to marry him, so she calls it a marriage. The gods are against this marriage, and send Mercury to tell Aeneas he needs to get on his ship and leave. He was supposed to be ruler of Italy. Dido is aware of his plan to leave, and she gives him an earful, but Aeneas still takes out to sea. Her husband leaving overwhelms Dido, after all she has done for him and his crew, and she feels she can’t go on living without him. She makes a speech about leaving an omen through her death and casts her body on a sword (suicide).		Dido the Queen falls in love with Aeneas after he tells his story of war at Troy.
