(Ἄσκάνιος), a son of Aeneas by Creusa (Verg. A. 2.666), or by Lavinia. (Liv. 1.1, 3; Serv. ad Aen. 6.760.) From Livy it would seem that some traditions distinguished between an earlier and a later Ascanius, the one a son of Creusa, and the other of Lavinia. After the fall of Troy, Ascanius and some Phrygian allies of the Trojans were sent by Aeneas to the country of Dascylitis, whose inhabitants made Ascanins their king; but he soon returned to Troy, and ruled there after the death of his father, who, aecording to some traditions, had likewise returned to Troy. (Dionys. A. R. 1.47, 53.) Another legend made Ascanius found a new kingdom at Scepsis in Troas, in conjunction with Seamandrius, the son of Hector. (Strab. xiii. p. G07.) Others again, according to whom his original name was Euryleon, made him accompany his father to Italy and succeed him as king of the Latins. (Dionys. A. R. 1.65.) Livy states that on the death of his father Ascanius was yet too young to undertake the government, and that after he had attained the age of manhood, he left Lavinium in the hands of his mother, and migrated to Alba Longa. Here lie was succeeded by his son Silvius. According to Dionysius (1.70), Silvius was a younger brother of Ascanius, and disputed the succession with Julus, a son of Ascanius. The dispute was decided in favour of Silvius. Servius (Serv. ad Aen. 1.271) states, that Ascanius was also called Hus Julus, Dardanus, and Leontodamus. The gens Julia at Rome traced its pedigree up to Julus and Ascanius. (Heyne, Exeurs. viii., ad Aen. i.) In the stories about Troy there occur three other personages of the name Ascanius. (Apollod. 3.12.5; Hom. H. 2.862, 13.792.) [L.S]

Livy, ab Urbe Condita
The son of Aeneas (q.v.) and Creüsa. According to the ordinary account, he accompanied his father to Italy, and, thirty years after the building of Lavinium, founded Alba Longa, where, after his death, his step-brother Silvius reigned. To him, by his name of Iulus, the gens Iulia traced its origin. See Trojan War.
