Ascanius
Ascanius (/əˈskeɪniəs/) (said to have reigned 1176-1138 BC) a legendary king of Alba Longa and is the son of the Trojan hero Aeneas and Creusa, daughter of Priam. He is a character in Roman mythology, and has a divine lineage, being the son of Aeneas, who is son of goddess Venus and the hero Anchises, a relative of the king Priam; thus Ascanius has divine ascendents by both parents, being descendant of god Jupiter, his wife Juno and Dardanus. He is also an ancestor of Romulus, Remus and the Gens Julia. Together with his father, he is a major character in the Aeneid, and he is depicted as one of founders of the Roman race.
Mythology
In Greek and Roman mythology, Ascanius was the son of the Trojan prince Aeneas and Creusa, daughter of Priam. After the Trojan War, as the city burned, Aeneas escaped to Latium in Italy, taking his father Anchises and his child Ascanius with him, though Creusa died during the escape.
According to Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Ascanius' original name was Euryleon and this name was changed to Ascanius after his flight from Troy. According to Virgil, Ascanius was also called Iulus or Julus. The Gens Julia, or the Julians, the clan to which Julius Caesar belonged, claimed to have been descended from Ascanius/Iulus, his father Aeneas, and, ultimately, the goddess Venus, the mother of Aeneas in myth, his father being the mortal Anchises. According to Dionysius of Halicarnassus, however, Julus was a son of Ascanius who disputed the succession of the kingdom of Alba Longa with Silvius, upon the death of Ascanius.

As esquinas
Por que passei
Só eu sei
Só eu sei
Sabe lá
O que é não ter
E ter que ter pra dar
Sabe lá
Sabe lá
E quem será
Nos arredores do amor
Que vai saber reparar
Que o dia nasceu?
Só eu sei
Os desertos
Que atravessei
Só eu sei
Só eu sei
Sabe lá
O que é morrer de sede
Em frente ao mar
Sabe lá
Sabe lá
E quem será
Na correnteza do amor
Que vai saber se guiar?
A nave em breve
Ao vento vaga
De leve e traz
Toda paz
Que um dia
O desejo levou
Só eu sei
As esquinas
Por que passei
Só eu sei
Só eu sei
