Dido, Queen of Carthage

Dido, Queen of Carthage is a play by Christopher Marlowe, likely written in the late 1580s while he was a student at Cambridge. The play, co-authored with Thomas Nashe, explores the tragic love story between Dido, the queen of Carthage, and Aeneas, a Trojan hero destined to found Rome. This early work is notable for its exploration of themes like love and duty, drawing heavily from Virgil's Aeneid.
