According to their own legends, Rome was founded by Trojans, descendants of Aeneas, not by Greeks.



Kind of embarrassing that I confused Trojans with Greeks for a brief moment there. Since the Roman legend of descending from Trojans is about making them distinct from the Greeks, yet having a prestigious origin story. Not sure whether it is actually true.
