honestly it's exactly the opposite because the Romans were hellenaboos
Yup. I love the joke, but The Aeneid is basically how do we steal and build on the legacy of famous Greek mythos, The Iliad.
… by pretending that we were founded by Greek heroes and not just some Latin settlers.
Doesn't "Latin settlers" in this context basically mean "the settlers of Latium?"
I was using the syntax I saw on Wikipedia which phrased it as
and the poem's second half tells of the Trojans' ultimately victorious war upon the Latins, under whose name Aeneas and his Trojan followers are destined to be subsumed.
