Another name for Dido.
Dido was a princess of the city of Tyre; her name was originally Elissa; she was the daughter of king Matgenos and the sister of Pygmalion; she married her uncle, Sychaeus, but he was murdered by Pygmalion; she took Sychaeus’ fortune and fled to northern Africa and founded the city of Carthage; the African king, Iarbas, wanted to marry Dido but she burned herself on a pyre rather than become his bride.
