Dido, the Queen of Carthage, killed herself by stabbing herself with a sWord. After being abandoned by Aeneas, whom she loved deeply, she was overwhelmed by despair and heartbreak. In her final act, she built a funeral pyre, laid herself upon it, and took her own life, cursing Aeneas as she did so. This tragic event is famously depicted in Virgil's epic, the "Aeneid."
