About “Dido, Queen of Carthage”
Dido, Queen of Carthage is a short play written by Christopher Marlowe, with possible contributions from Thomas Nashe. It was likely written between 1587 and 1593 and first published in 1594. The play centers on Dido, the Queen of Carthage, and her intense love for Aeneas. It portrays her emotional struggle after Aeneas betrays her and leaves for Italy. Dido ultimately takes her own life. The play draws from Books 1, 2, and 4 of Virgil's Aeneid. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
