Allecto goes first to Queen Amata, who favors Turnus as her future son-in-law and bitterly opposes her husband’s choice of Aeneas, and incites the queen to describe Aeneas to Latinus in the most vicious terms.

Allecto now flies to the Trojans camped alongside the Tiber River and incites the unsuspecting Ascanius to wound a Latium family’s pet stag, thus driving its owners and Latium’s populace to retaliate.
