In Book One, we learn that Dido was from Tyre, where she was married to a rich Phoenician by the name of Sychaeus. Her brother, Pygmalion killed her husband, and her husband, appearing in a dream told her to flee the city. In response, Dido escaped Tyre and became the founder and queen of Carthage.
