In [[Roman mythology]], the '''Aeneads''' ({{langx|grc|Αἰνειάδαι}}) were the friends, family and companions of [[Aeneas]], with whom they fled from [[Troy]] after the [[Trojan War]]. '''''Aenides''''' was another patronymic from Aeneas, which is applied by [[Gaius Valerius Flaccus]] to the inhabitants of [[Cyzicus]],<ref>[[Gaius Valerius Flaccus|Valerius Flaccus]], 3.4 </ref> whose town was believed to have been founded by Cyzicus, the son of Aeneas and [[Aenete]].<ref>{{Citation| last = Schmitz| first = Leonhard| contribution = Aenides| editor-last = Smith| editor-first = William| title = [[Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology]]| volume = 1| pages = 34| place = Boston| year = 1867| contribution-url = https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0104%3Aalphabetic+letter%3DA%3Aentry+group%3D7%3Aentry%3Daenides-bio-1}}</ref> Similarly, '''''Aeneades''''' ([[Ancient Greek language|Ancient Greek]]: {{lang|grc|Αἰνειάδης}}) was a [[patronymic]] from Aeneas, and applied as a surname to those who were believed to have been descended from him, such as [[Ascanius]], [[Augustus]], and the Romans in general.<ref>[[Virgil]], ''[[Aeneid]]'' 9.653 </ref><ref>[[Ovid]], ''[[Epistulae ex Ponto]]'' 1.35</ref><ref>Ovid, ''[[Metamorphoses]]'' 15.682 & 15.695 </ref><ref name="dgrbm">{{Citation| last = Schmitz| first = Leonhard| contribution = Aeneades| editor-last = Smith| editor-first = William| title = [[Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology]]| volume = 1| pages = 30| place = Boston| year = 1867| contribution-url = http://www.ancientlibrary.com/smith-bio/0039.html }}</ref>
