Capys 1 is father of Anchises 1 , who is father of Aeneas , leader of the Dardanians during the Trojan War .Aeneas is remembered for his courage and piety, and as the one who was destined to survive and to save the House of Dardanus 1 from extinction. For Aeneas , escaping from the flames of the sacked Troy, emigrated to Italy where he founded a kingdom which in time gave birth to Rome.

In Greek mythology, Capys was a son of Assaracus and Aigesta or Themiste and father of Anchises and so grandfather of Aeneas the Trojan
