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. [6] According to Barry Powell, he may also represent Mark Antony or local peoples who must submit to Rome's empire. [7] Powell adds that in the dispute between Turnus and Aeneas, Turnus may have the moral upper hand, having been arranged to marry Lavinia first.

Pallas received Paralia [3] or Diacria [4] as his domain, or else he shared the power over several demes with Aegeus. [5] Later, after the death of Aegeas, Pallas tried to take the throne from the rightful heir, his nephew, Theseus, but failed and was killed by him, [6] and so were his fifty children, the Pallantides.
