The
Queen of the
Carthaginians in
Vergil's
Aeneid; she came from somewhere around
Tyre or
Sidon, probably modern
Lebanon. The
goddess Juno liked her (and the Carthaginians) a whole lot.
Dido fell in love with Aeneas, controversial and tragic things transpired, Aeneas sailed away, and she killed herself dramatically atop a funeral pyre.
