Creusa (2) Roman Wife of Aeneas, a hero of the Trojan War who went on to become a founding figure in Roman mythology, and mother of his son, Ascanius. When Aeneas was fleeing Troy as it burned, Creusa was lost in the crush of people. When he discovered this, Aeneas went back to find her, but only her shade, or ghost, appeared to him. Creusa's spirit told Aeneas that he would embark on a great journey before establishing a great city, which would be Lavinium, near Rome. Creusa begged her husband to raise their son well.
