In battle, Pallas proves he is a warrior, killing many Rutulians. [2] Pallas is often compared to the Rutulian Lausus, son of Mezentius, who also dies young in battle. [3] Tragically, however, Pallas is eventually killed by Turnus, [4] who takes his sword-belt, which is decorated with the scene of the fifty slaughtered bridegrooms, as a spoil. [5]
Turnus can be seen as a "new Achilles", due to his Greek ancestry and his fierceness.
