Dido was a widowed Queen of Carthage in Virgil's poem of the Aeneid. She become lover to Aeneas the hero of the story but committed suicide when Aeneas abandoned her to continue his mission to establish a new civilization in Italy. Perhaps why Dante places Dido in the 2nd circle of Lust and not in circle 7: Violence with the suicides, is that Dante felt her betrayal to her deceased husband in taking Aeneas as a lover out of a lustful desire was stronger then the way of her death.
