Editing Juturna (section)

==In literature==
*Virgil makes her a sister of [[Turnus]] who supported him against [[Aeneas]] by giving him his sword after he dropped it in battle, as well as by taking him away from the battle when it seemed he would be killed.<ref>Virgil, ''Aeneid'' (Penguin 1990) p. 384 and 396 (Aen. 12.638-44 and 1059-61)</ref> In the end, however, she could not save him from his fate, and retreated into her waters in mourning. Juturna is further hellenized by Juno’s conferral of [[Catasterismi|catasterism]] (Aen. 12.143, 145), an act that links her with the Dioscuri. These divinities all share a similar function as helpers of mortals and had traditional cultic connections in early Latium.
*Ovid relates her affair with Jupiter (Greek Zeus): the secret was betrayed by another nymph, [[Larunda]], whom Jupiter struck with muteness as punishment.<ref>A Chiu, ''Ovid’s Women of the Year'' (2016) p. 88-90</ref>
