The father of Aineias (Aeneas).
While Ankhises was working near his home on the slopes of Mount Ida, Aphrodite (goddess of Love) saw him and became enchanted with his manly beauty; she disguised herself as a mortal and seduced Ankhises; he suspected that she was divine but could not resist her supernatural charms.
Their son, Aineias, was one of the most stalwart of the Trojan allies during the siege of the city of Troy and was under the constant protection of his immortal mother, Aphrodite.
Ankhises stole several of the horses which Zeus had given Tros as compensation for the abduction of Tros’ son, Ganymede; Ankhises bred these horses and gave the offspring to his son, Aineias, to be used as his chariot horses during the siege of Troy.
