Queen Dido
Dido, the Queen of Carthage, killed herself by stabbing herself with a sword. After being abandoned by Aeneas, whom she loved deeply, she was overwhelmed by despair and heartbreak. In her final act, she built a funeral pyre, laid herself upon it, and took her own life, cursing Aeneas as she did so. This tragic event is famously depicted in Virgil's epic, the "Aeneid."
In Carthage.
We last see Dido when she kills herself from the grief of Aeneas leaving Carthage at the end of book 4.
Dido was abandoned by Aeneas, as Mercury told Aeneas that he must travel to Italy and leave Dido, as Mercury reminds Aeneas that Dido is not part of his fate. Dido proceeds to kill herself out of sorrow by stabbing herself with an "ensis" (sword).

No, Aeneas is not a planet. In Roman mythology, Aeneas was a legendary Trojan hero and the son of Anchises and the goddess Aphrodite. He was also a central character in Virgil's epic poem, the "Aeneid."

Carthage.
No.
Aeneas cannot walk about Carthage unseen because the goddess Venus, his mother, has ensured that he is recognized by the Carthaginians due to his significant destiny. Additionally, Dido, the queen of Carthage, is enchanted by Aeneas' presence, leading her to notice him immediately. This combination of divine intervention and human emotion makes it impossible for Aeneas to remain incognito in the city.
Dido was the legendary queen of Carthage, made famous in the Aeneid, who fell in love with Aeneas, the entirely fictional founder of Rome after escaping from the siege of troy with his elderly mother.
