Anchises
Anchises was a Trojan prince and the father of Aeneas, the hero of Vergil's Aeneid. Anchises was crippled for revealing his coupling with the goddess Venus. This is told in Aeneid Book II 635ff, where he tries to talk his son into leaving him in Troy where he will surely die.
When Aeneas left Troy, he carried his father, a cousin of Priam, on his back; then, when Anchises died, Aeneas visited him in the Underworld in Aeneid VI where Anchises reveals to his son Rome's future greatness.
