    The allusion highlights the idea of avenging a father's murder.

    Explanation:

    In Hamlet, Act II Scene II, when the actors arrive at the castle, Hamlet asks for a speech he once heard performed. It's the tale Aeneas told Dido about Priam's murder, all drawn from Virgil's Aeneid. It's a significant story because Pyrrhus, son of the warrior Achilles, comes to Troy in the Trojan horse to avenge the death of his father by killing Priam, King of Troy.
