Mount Ida (Troad)
Mount Ida also plays a role in the story of Aeneas, the Trojan hero who, according to Roman mythology, escaped the destruction of Troy and eventually founded the city of Rome.
Aeneas is said to have fled to Mount Ida after the fall of Troy, where he gathered his followers before embarking on his journey to Italy.
This connection to Aeneas further emphasizes the mountain’s importance in the mythological narratives that link Troy with the origins of Rome.
