Africa in Roman mythology

In Greek and Roman mythology, Dido ( ; ; ), also known as Elissa ( ; ), was the legendary founder and first queen of the Phoenician city-state of Carthage. In most accounts, she was originally the joint ruler of Tyre who fled tyranny to found her own city in northwest Africa, now modern-day Tunisia. As she is only known from ancient Greek and Roman sources, all of which were written well after Carthage's founding, her historicity remains uncertain.

Iarbas (or Hiarbas) was a legendary Libyan/Berber figure, who was mentioned by the Greek philosopher and historian Plutarch as well as in works by various Roman authors including Ovid and Virgil. The character is possibly based on a real historical king of Numidia.
