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.

A minor one, for instance, concerns Turnus and Enéas: in Virgil, Aeneas kills Turnus, at the end of the epic, because he recognizes the swordbelt that Turnus took from Pallas. In the Roman , it is a ring that Enéas recognizes, a motif that Michelle Freeman sees repeated in Marie de France 's "Le Fresne" .
