Turnus
A son of Daunus and Venilia, and king of the Rutulians at the time of the arrival of Aeneas in Italy. (The Aeneid by Virgil x.) He was a brother of Juturna and related to Amata, the wife of king Latinus. (xii. 138.) Alecto, by the command of Hera, stirred him up to fight against Aeneas after his landing in Italy. He appears in the Aeneid as a brave warrior, but in the end he fell by the hand of the victorious Aeneas (xii. 926, etc.). The History of Rome By Titus Livius (i. 2) and Dionysius also mention him as king of the Rutulians, who allied himself with the Etruscans against the Latins, consisting of Aborigenes and Trojans. The Rutulians according to their account indeed were defeated, but Aeneas fell.
From Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and MythologyFrom The Aeneid by Virgil Book XII
Now Turnus, posted on a hill, from far
Beheld the progress of the moving war:
With him the Latins view'd the cover'd plains,
And the chill blood ran backward in their veins.
Juturna saw th' advancing troops appear,
And heard the hostile sound, and fled for fear.
Aeneas leads; and draws a sweeping train,
Clos'd in their ranks, and pouring on the plain.
As when a whirlwind, rushing to the shore
From the mid ocean, drives the waves before;
The painful hind with heavy heart foresees
The flatted fields, and slaughter of the trees;
With like impetuous rage the prince appears
Before his doubled front, nor less destruction bears.
