Pallas

King Evander is shown to care deeply for his son’s future abilities and life. In order that his son may grow up to be a great leader, Evander asks Aeneas to take Pallas under his guidance. He wishes for Pallas to “learn to suffer war and Mars’ hard labor” [viii. 672]. Evander wants to make sure that Pallas gets the best military education by taking Aeneas “as a model/ from early years” [viii. 673-674]. By giving Pallas up to the instruction of Aeneas, Evander is ensuring the future success of his son. Evander’s care for his son is seen through their emotional separation before Pallas goes off to war as well. The loving father “takes up the hand of his departing son/ and clings with endless tears” bids his son farwell [viii. 725-726]. This is in stark contrast to Latium, who is only worried about the future of his line and marrying off his daughter. He sees her as a political tool, showing little regard for her well being when compared to the emotion shown between Evander and Pallas. Even when King Latium knows whom his daughter should marry, as designed by the gods, he still resigns to allowing the strongest to take her hand in…

battle. During this encounter, the listener (or reader) meets both Pallas and Camilla, two minor characters that possess a fearlessness in battle that few would dream of having. These characters are the main subjects of Book XI, where Virgil employs a unique method by pairing Pallas’ funeral with the telling of Camilla and her battle, and finally, ending the book with her death. Camilla, a female warrior, and Pallas, Aeneas’ “foster” son, fight for different sides in the…

Aeneas, despite his standing as one of the greatest Trojan warriors and as an exceptional leader, suffers from personal blindness. This blindness inhibits Aeneas’ ability to clearly see situations and therefore causes him to act irrationally. It can be deducted, though, that Aeneas was acting solely as a proxy of Pallas and therefore not responsible for his actions. The idea of Aeneas killing Turnus as a proxy is very unbelievable though, because he had a history of misconceiving situations…

contains a symbolic background of some kind, it may carry an even deeper meaning. Considering how close Aeneas and Pallas became as friends, I’m sure that somewhere behind the scenes, it’s possible that Pallas may have told Aeneas a story or two about why he chose to wear that belt and what it means to him. I also think that the images on the belt were highly capable of influencing violent feelings and actions. My reason for stating this, is because when people glimpse…

Athena feeling really down about what happened made a statue in honor of Palla. Triton also had other daughters not as important as Pallas but still daughters. His offsprings besides Palla were Kalliste, Triteia, and Tritonians (tritons). When Triton would get bored or tired of doing the bidding for Poseidon he would send the tritonians. The Tritons looked like Triton they looked like mermans. Mainly they were his children that's why he appreciated Palla so much. Triton is like many demigods and…

atop of the bust of Pallas. The raven simply stated one simple word, nevermore. The character began getting angry with the ebony bird, asking for death and for relief of the lost Lenore. Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” has an insane, and also depressing mood. Instead of the depressing and insane mood Poe brings to the reader's attention in “The Raven”, Matt Groening creates an over dramatic…
