How does Aeneid resemble Homeric epics?

Virgil's "Aeneid", written many years after the Homeric epics were created, resemble those epics in several ways. The presence of a central hero who is to be admired (and emulated) by the reader is a very important resemblance. Another is the work's laying-out of cultural values and morals, along with a kind of basic history, for the society in which the work was written. Finally, a basic entertainment factor, whereby fantastic encounters and divine intervention are regular occurrences, is another resemblance.
