Lines 543-908 retold in contemporary prose...
So Aeneas goes on this huge killing spree. He’s pretty mad about Turnus killing y’boi Pallas,
so he’s just raging, even kills a priest, seems kinda sketch if you ask me, and then Iulus
makes a break for it.
And now we have a quick ol’ sneaky peek at the gods, and surprise-surprise Juno is back at it again with the flattering Jupiter to get what she wants, and this time it’s to take Turnus away from the battle...even though it’s very literally fated for him to die, but...you do you Juno. Jupiter says yes bc he’s just bored of his wife’s rubbish, and so he lets Juno pull a sneaky on Turnus to lure him onto a ship and send him away. As you’ve guessed, Turnus is not a happy boi after this and pretty much cries to Jupiter like a lil baby.
And so Mezentius, the second big boi of the Latin camp steps up into the spotlight and starts
killing everyone really, nice guy, until we come to...now you absolutely would never have
ever expected this...a showdown between Aeneas and Mezentius, ta da! So Mezentius
yeets his spear at Aeneas, but ends up killing one of Hercules’ friends, oops sorry Herc, but
Aeneas, everyone’s main man, hits Mezentius right through that shield.
And now is the real plot twist, bc even though everyone hates Mezentius and his son, Lausus, wishes he had a different dad, he’s still super upset about this whole spear thang, and so he, he must be like 12 or
something (who even knows at this point?), runs forward and Aeneas just strikes that boi down.
He got smited...smote...smitten...he got killed dead. RIP Lausus, too pure for this world.
Mezentius tries to make a comeback and also gets killed dead, so RIP Mezentius too, and
that’s the end of Book 10 kiddos.
