Redone Biography For Aeneas
Aeneas was the demigod son of the goddess Aphrodite and Anchises, a prince of Troy. He aided the Trojan defenders during the Trojan War, and was one of the few survivors who escaped Troy's sacking. He and his followers sailed throughout the Mediterranean, searching for a new home. They would finally settle in Italy, where Aeneas would rule over them as king, as would his descendants.

Aeneas fought in several battles during the Trojan War, and although he was a competent warrior, he usually found himself in peril at the hands of Achaean champions like Achilles and Diomedes. The gods of Olympians knew that Aeneas was destined for a great future, and they always delivered him from harm.

As the city of Troy burned, Aeneas, his father, and his son gathered as many survivors as could be found and sailed away from Troy. The Aeneads, as they were called, traveled about searching for a new land to make a home in. They had numerous adventures along the way, stopping at Sicily, the island of Polyphemus, and the kingdom of Carthage.

The Aeneads finally arrived in Italy, were they came into conflict with one of the local Italic tribes. After defeating them, Aeneas founded the city of Alba Longa, which would be ruled by a long series of kings. Two of Aeneas's descendants would found a city of their own, which would grown into one of the greatest empires the world has ever known. Their names were Romulus and Remus.

Notes on X-Factors

 * Aeneas is the son of an Olympian, which will give him above-average strength, but Odysseus has the feat of wrestling Ajax. Odysseus probably takes this, seeing that Ajax lifted and threw a boulder with ease that four ordinary men couldn't lift.
 * Experience is a bit weird, both fought at Troy, Aeneas had his war against Turnus and Odysseus had the suitor fight. Aeneas's fight was a full on war with thousands on each side, and Odysseus's fight was more of skirmish where he was vastly outnumbered.
 * Dunno about training, need to research more on that.
 * Intelligence definitely goes to Odysseus. Aeneas is a competent leader, but he's nowhere near as crafty as the King of Ithaca. Even Zeus was impressed by his cleverness.

X-Factors

 * Strength goes to Penthy, she's a demigod after all, and Harp has no feats that would put her above that.
 * Speed is Harp's, out running horses easily lets her take this.
 * Sources are very limited on both of these figures, but I'll probably give the Experience edge to Penthy because she participated in both the attack on Athens and the Trojan War. Harp only has the Myrmidon fight.
