	ELECTRONIC ANTIQUITY V4N1
		Turnus in gratitude accepts her help, and a version of this offer, calling her decus Italiae virgo, virgin maiden and glory of Italy, a suitable pairing for Camilla who embodies both female virginity and the more masculine desire for glory.
		What's striking are the reactions to her plan: first Turnus' ready agreement, indicating a high level of trust and confidence in her, and secondly, silence on the part of those whom Camilla would lead in the place of Turnus.
		Vergil entered the text previously to offer a condemnation of Turnus greed for Pallas' belt (10.502) and Euryalus (9.365 and 9.373), and 'prospectively, Camilla is also condemned' and 'the poet enters the text to condemn her'.

		Both for Turnus' "point of view" in this scene, then, and for Vergil's own mode of beholding at crucial moments throughout his epic, the image of sickness as madness is, perhaps paradoxically, exact, and it shows "a clearness of the unclear" that is, to my mind, a prime characteristic of Vergil's art.
		At this point we realize that Turnus, now so fully iden fied with his madness as to be indistinguishable from it, can neither speak to the issue with Latinus nor can Latinus speak to him; he is, in a very real sense, a phantom wandering through the broken images that constitute his delusions, his consciousness.
		In the case of Turnus, the shifting of narrative focus, the fluctuation of rhetorical emphasis, the hyperbole that is indicative of distortions that cannot quite be corrected, result in a baffling, disquieting uncertainty about who Turnus is, what he is doing, what is destroying him.

		Turnus' appearance "as a ravenous animal" typically foreshadows war for Virgil and here the bloodshed that will result from his insolence against the gods.
		Turnus’ identification with Dido in his grief over Lavinia recalls Dido’s attempts to accept an alternate destiny without Aeneas that resulted in her funeral pyre. Both Dido and Turnus oscillate between acting for the gods or the passion that the gods had imbedded, but neither can extinguish the flame once lit.
		Turnus' armor and Aeneas' anger not only recall the red imagery of furor associated with Turnus' plume, but they are also associated with Turnus' end.

		Turnus was an enemy of Aeneas, very much the same way Hektor was with respect to Achilleus in The Iliad.
		Turnus merely asks that his body, dead or alive, be returned to his father after Aeneas is done with him.
		Although most agree that the war with Turnus and Latinus is fictitious, perhaps as a story concerned with the founding of the Rome, it provides some historical or sociological explanation for the evolution of a cruel Roman imperialistic empire.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 95.07.11
		For Turnus too the introduction promises a sophisticated treatment of a figure with strong positive features, but some negative ones as well, chiefly (in the introduction) the sense that he is a lesser man than Aeneas, and that he shares with the other youthful figures in Book 9 a tendency for rash behavior.
		In discussing Turnus' claim, sunt et mea fata mihi, H. says that "T. almost redefines fate as 'that which is morally fitting', or even as 'that which lies in the strength of my weapons'; the implied rejection of a supernatural sanction brings him close to Mezentius, the contemptor divum.
		Surely Turnus' problem is not that he is contemptuous of the gods, like Mezentius, but that he is too trusting of gods who are deceiving him.

		Turnus, after a futile attempt to heave a boulder at Aeneas, stands dazed and disoriented; Aeneas moves in for the kill.

		It is the closest that the French Turnus comes to his Virgilian forebear in passion and, in both cases, the motive is preservation of his personal reputation.
		It is significant that Turnus is described going to see the queen 'in anger and hostility', since she herself appeared before Latinus 'in a hostile rage'.

		When the sister of Turnus saw this, she was much afraid; so, running up to her brother's chariot, she pushed the driver from his place, and took the reins herself; but the man did not know what had happened, only he found himself left behind, nor did Turnus know anything about it.
		First Turnus rose to his height, and struck a great blow with his sword, and all the Trojans and all the Latins cried out when they saw him strike—these with hope and those with fear.
		But Turnus cried to the god: "O Faunus, if I have kept sacred the things which the Trojans have profaned, hold fast this spear." And so it was, for Æneas [281] could not draw it forth.

	Diotima
		There the story of Hippolytus and Phaedra is only cursorily mentioned in little more than two lines (7.765-6), yet these lines emphasize the horrible punishment and death of Hippolytus.(15) Camilla's chosen chastity and its resonance with both Hippolytus and the maiden Penthesilea foreshadows her death.
		Homer uses the simile of a hawk and a dove to describe Achilles' pursuit of Hector, who in that scene eludes the hawk.(21) Not so here, Camilla's arrogance was goaded, and she retaliates in good epic fashion.
		Vergil entered the text previously to offer a condemnation of Turnus greed for Pallas' belt (10.502) and Euryalus (9.365 and 9.373), and 'prospectively, Camilla is also condemned' and 'the poet enters the text to condemn her'.(25) Vergil has earlier come down heavily on the excesses of booty, and he may be doing so again here.
