Turnus

A satirical poet of the time of Nero and Vespasian also bears this name.
Aeneas defeats Turnus, Luca Giordano, 1634–1705. The female on the left is Venus, Aeneas' mother, who supported him during the battle. The female on the right must be Turnus' sister, the nymph Juturna, who was forced by a Fury (transformed to a black bird sent by Jupiter) to abandon Turnus to his fate.

Turnus (Ancient Greek: Τυρρηνός, romanized: Tyrrhênós) was the legendary King of the Rutuli in Roman history, and the chief antagonist of the hero Aeneas in Virgil's Aeneid.

According to the Aeneid, Turnus is the son of Daunus and the nymph Venilia and is brother of the nymph Juturna.[1]
