 Anchises 1, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
The greatest moment in Anchises 1's life must have been his meeting with Aphrodite, when he was tending cattle on Mount Ida. When the goddess saw him, she was seized by desire, and went immediately to her precinct in Paphos in the island of Cyprus, where the CHARITES bathed her with heavenly oil.
Anchises 1 was at that time an old man broken down with years and then Aeneas, with a remembered gesture of piety, set his father on his shoulders, leading his young son Ascanius 2 by his hand.
This was Anchises 1's answer to his son, and since no further questions were asked, he straightaway showed Aeneas his destiny and his descendants, in the form of souls who were to be born on earth with Italian blood in their veins, and lay the foundations of Roman power.

 Anchises - LoveToKnow 1911
ANCHISES, in Greek legend, Trojan hero, son of Capys and Themis, grandson (according to Hyginus, son) of Assaracus, connected on both sides with the royal family of Troy, was king of Dardanus on Mt. Ida.
From the name Assaracus, from the intercourse between the Phoenicians and the early inhabitants of the Troad, and from the connexion of Aphrodite, the protecting goddess of the Phoenicians, with Anchises, it has been inferred that his family was originally of Assyrian origin.
His flight on the shoulders of Aeneas is frequently represented on engraved gems of the Roman period; and his visit from Aphrodite is rendered in a beautiful bronze relief, engraved in Millingen's Unedited Gems.

 GradeSaver: ClassicNote: The Aeneid Study Guide
Anchises describes the many wonders of Elysium to Aeneas, and he then focuses on the great future in store for Aeneas and his descendants: “my tongue will now reveal/ the fame that is to come from Dardan sons” (999-1000).
When Aeneas notices souls hovering over a river, Anchises explains that the river is called Lethe, and that after drinking from it souls are stripped of any memory of their former lives, then returned to earth to begin life again in a new body.
His reunion with Anchises is particularly poignant, as Aeneas throws his arms around his father’s shade in vain not merely once, but (famously) three times, again revealing the deep and meaningful relationship shared between the generations.

 Mythography | The Greek Hero Anchises in Myth and Art
Anchises was a notable hero in Greek mythology.
It is not surprising that Anchises would be a bit shocked to see such a gorgeous creature as this appear to him while he was tending his sheep on Mount Ida. In the end, however, desire overcame the man's natural fears, and soon the pair were joined together in a blissful union.
Aphrodite did warn Anchises that he was never to reveal this secret tryst to anyone after they parted company, and the man was wise enough to agree to these terms.
