As the Greeks conquer and destroy Troy, Aeneas who has been fighting for Troy turns to home, as he remembers his elderly father Anchises is there. On the way, He sees Helen and is about to kill her, as seen here in this 19th-century illustration, but his mother, Venus (Aphrodite), intervenes and stops him (as sen here as well). She tells him that it is not Helen to blame for the war but the gods who set all in motion.
