[439-509] ‘Turnus comes to meet Pallas, and they prepare for single combat. Pallas prays to Hercules, once his father's guest, for success: but the good wishes of Hercules are overruled, unwillingly, by Jupiter. In the combat that follows Turnus kills Pallas. He freely sends the body back for burial, but spoils him of his belt: an act which afterwards has a terrible consequence.’
