La leggenda di Enea (English Translation: The Avenger) is a 1962 Italian / French / Yugoslavian film directed by Giorgio Venturini.
The film is also known as Conquérants héroiques in France, The Last Glory of Troy (American TV title) and War of the Trojans in the United Kingdom.
Aeneas leads escaped survivors of the Trojan war to new land in Italy. Based on Virgil's The Aeneid.
In general, the Avenger is a demythologized and condensed retelling of the second half of the Aeneid. It is also insular in its storytelling, making none of the references to Hannibal or Caesar found in The Aeneid. The movie differs from Virgil's poem in many ways, but retains the same essential structure of books VII - XII. In Virgil's Aeneid, the story begins with Juno provoking a storm that drives Aeneas' ships to the Carthage shores. The Avenger begins after Aeneas has arrived in Italy, skipping the well-known substories of Aeneas' affair with Dido and his journey through the underworld. Both stories recount the Trojan war. In the Aeneid, it is told by Aeneas in Dido's court; in The Avenger it is told through a flashback while viewing a fresco in King Latino's court.

Don't think I'll be home again
There's just no way back
And I think just to forget
The life I lived, the tears I wept
Now it's all behind
I could take your life with ease
Snap your spine in the autumn breeze
Whispering my name
No truth unspoiled, no lie untold
Your blood's still warm, but mine is cold
I could never change my ways
And I've never been astray
Although my road is dark
You lost your way long ago
The perversion just went on
Until all hope was gone
Moving, silent, through the rain
Don't think I'll be home again
When I'm near
Sense the fear
I can feel your heart rate turn around
What's that sound?
Know for sure when it's too late
I may be there
When least expected
If you breathe, it's because of me
So unaware of my plans
And I just might change my mind
You may not see my point of view
But believe me I am true
And I can make you see
It will be clear and come to you
From down on your knees
Breath by breath, step by step
Perhaps the next one is the last
Moving, silent, through the rain
