There’s a very old literary strategy at play here called “delay of anticipation,” which just means forestalling an inevitable conflict in order to add tension to the forthcoming battle. You can see it used extensively in Grecco-Roman epics like The Iliad and The Aeneid. 2/12

"I sing of warfare and a man at war.
From the sea-coast of Troy in early days
He came to Italy by destiny,
To our Lavinian western shore..."

I took another walk this morning and listened to books seven and eight of the Aeneid. Something I hadn’t noticed before is that Turnus has Io depicted on his shield. I found an article with an interesting interpretation - here is the first page.
