Turnus murders Pallas, a close friend of Aeneas and a super mortal with amazing skills, near the end of the Aeneid's passage as retaliation for telling him that he thinks he could kill one of his soldiers and just walk away while wearing his riches. Turnus acts in a barbarous manner, with no regard for the corpse, pressing down on it with his left foot and ripping off Pallal's special belt sword. Turnus is possessed by demonic forces because the treasures have been marked with a dreadful scene or horror. The curse revolves around village crew of young men are slaughtered and the cover of one night and smear the weeding chambers with blood, Turnus at his acquisition dances and rejoices and Clonus the son of Eurytus is had embossed. The sword belt is a bad omen the society and as results of ignorance and greedy Turnus suffers a lot yet he was doing. He is to regret why he had to take the spoils and men carry them around.
In Aeneid`s passage, Turnus killing Pallas a great friend of Aeneas and asking his body to be returned to his youth`s father with a vicious message, despoils his body as a victim of the sword belt with an elaborate plan that the narrative tries to connect in way. Given the absence of suitable names or other explicit form of identity, the commentators of the narrative have come to an agreement that the depiction on the sword belt is a myth of Danaids, the daughters of Damaus who killed their husband on the day their wedding of which forty-nine carried out the brutal act and one decide to spare her new husband. Those other criminals who are categorized as Danaids are punished underworld and believed that the get purified of blood and are able to remarry.
Modern linguists that work under Aeneid usually conquer with notion that Danaid myth is symbolic although they still have issues that have not been agreed on. The thematic and verbal resonances confirm the link Pall`s sword belt whereby Virgil focuses with on the violation marriage chamber blood painted as a sign of murder although the emphasis is apparently different. Danaid myth has its Statian version which is a leading role whose motivation for his terrible behavior is the misunderstanding with his cousin Aegyptus. He openly echoes the Aeneid context of the Thebaid and advocates that the purpose of the shield`s symbolism is with that work. Hippomedon similarly use the shield in vicious disagreement between brother Eteocles and Polynices which may render people to serious deaths. Turnus` unrestricted and wild act in despoiling Pallas. Schlunk, points out the allegory of the unrestricted souls of the Plato`s Gorgias who are characterized as pouring water from holey sieve into leaky jugs in the underworld. The allegorical uses of the Danaid`s traditional infernal similar punishment of carrying water sieved vessels. Schlunk argues the indirect allusion to the Danaids does not mention punishment, however evoke the allegorical interpretation of their crime asas intemperance confidence although this has some attraction especially given the Virgilian comment on Tarnu`s dead. He too will perish before he become before becoming a brightgroom.
The symbolic interpretation history and criticism of sword belt of the Aeneid in the modern pro lies upon the crime as evident on Paallas` sword belt and the bloody marriage. This is mentioned at very minute Turnus trips Pallas of his arms. The belt leads him to death, he dies before he gets married as he fights the war for the hands of his bride. Otis views the incidence as sympathetic to Tarnus who appreciated the sword belt as “fitting booty for the breaker of married-treaty.” Turnus affirms to rapture the marriage by splitting blood, and Knauer who in a brief footnote, argue that not only did Turnus stole the belt but also commit a crime. Knaer lures attention to the clearly symbolic rapiens, nefas with its implication that Turnus commit a crime as shown on the sword belt.
The connection of the balteus with Turnus has been further explored by Schlunk who reasons for its emotional symbolism as a token of Turnus` unrestricted and wild act in despoiling Pallas. Schlunk, points out the allegory of the unrestricted souls of the Plato`s Gorgias who are characterized as pouring water from holey sieve into leaky jugs in the underworld. The allegorical uses of the Danaid`s traditional infernal similar punishment of carrying water sieved vessels. Schlunk argues the indirect allusion to the Danaids does not mention punishment, however evoke the allegorical interpretation of their crime as intemperance confidence although this has some attraction especially given the Virgilian comment on Tarnu`s dead. He too will perish before he become a bridegroom.
Several points emerged from statian parallel which illuminate the Virgil passage. Danaid story is clearly presented as an Argive legend an evident stress on local origin. Turnu offence was depicted when he moved around with the sword belt, not to killing, both of them were mortal, were prepared to meet each other at the arena. The death of Pallas is tragic and lamentable, but it is not in itself a crime the incident is indirectly linked to the death of the fifty sons of Aegyptus. Aeneidshow that the burutal and immature killing before marriage was a closely parallel to the fate of the sons of Aegptus. The sword belt represented death and evil in the community is a symbol evil. Pallas is killed under the possession of spoils. The same thing occurs with to Turn he stripped off it led to his death.
Another radical view is taken by Eva Keul, who relates the nafas of the Danaid in Aechylus Supplies who in her view begin intolerable provocation by myths in the society. She sees that a barrier to development and misunderstanding among you. The killing in Aeneid involves you and determine but the end dead because of their beliefs in myth and spoil.
