Latinus
King of the Latins whom Ovid names son of Faunus — the Laurentine host whose daughter Aeneas won. Disambiguated as latinus-king from Odysseus' son Latinus (Hesiod Theogony 995–1015; Apollodorus Epit. 7.24; Hyginus Fabulae 127).1
Lavinia
Not a reigning queen — Latinus' daughter and the pure Laurentine bride for whom Turnus fought; the marriage-dower through which Aeneas inherits the Latin kingdom. Vergil and Dionysius expand this strand outside the seven lenses.2
Aeneas
Won Lavinia and Latinus' realm after war with Turnus; Ovid washes his mortality in the Numicius on Laurentine shores (Indiges) and names Lavinium's sacred homes on the Tiber approach. Pausanias knows him as carrier of Troy's Palladium to Italy and founder of Laconian cities when storms drove him west.3
