Dido is the nearest thing to a lovestory in the Aeneid. Aeneas has sex with Dido (who is a widow when the story opens), but when he has a dream telling him he needs to continue in his quest to found Rome - he walks out on her. Dido commits suicide. People like lovestories, so people like the story of Dido and Aeneas. Women like it because it is a typical exampe of the 'all men are rats' genre. Men like it because it shows that even if you are a rat, there are still women who will die for you.
The final song at the end of "Dido and Aeneas" is known as "Dido's Lament" or "When I am Laid in Earth." It is a powerful aria sung by Dido as she prepares for her death, expressing her sorrow and lament at being abandoned by Aeneas.
