The descriptions of Marcellus' brief life, the death of Lausus, and the defeat and slaughter of Nisus and Euryalus are scenes of great pathos and beauty; the death of Pallas is linked intimately with the poem's chilling final movement and through it to the themes of the epic as a whole.
Euryalus has been in battle before, but he has yet to prove himself, and so belongs to the safer world of the pueri.
It is he who sponsors the fatal night mission of Nisus and Euryalus, and when Aeneas addresses him for the first and last time in the poem, he is adjured to be true to Aeneas and Hector, that is, to carry on the legacy of Troy as embodied in Aeneas and Hector.

Euryalus was no longer master of himself, when he had seen Lucretia; he began to burn for her and, gazing at her face, felt he would never have seen enough.
This was their plan: Euryalus was to be locked up in one of the rooms, and Lucretia, as soon as her mother had gone to church, would arrive, as though to pay her a visit, and, not finding her at home, would await her return.
Euryalus stayed there three days, but at last, when he saw that all means of approach had been taken from him, he announced his departure to his mistress.

Euryalus mother, for example, becomes a source of concern for both Euryalus (9.283292) and Nisus (9.216218).
Similarly, Ascanius acceptance of Euryalus as a comrade just prior to the night mission and his recognition of a bond of fides between them (9.275280) suggests a dissolution of the circumscribed limits of friendship common in other narratives.
But in book nine Nisus and Euryalus die almost simultaneously, and responsibility for mourning is consequently transferred to the Trojan community (9.46872, 49899) and Euryalus mother (9.481489).

H.'s treatment of Nisus and Euryalus has two strengths: he views them in the context of other young warriors who die in the poem, and he refuses to chose between conflicting interpretations where Vergil is irresolvably ambiguous.
On at least two issues, however, H. is less successful in avoiding a role like that of an advocate or prosecuting attorney, for his commentary tilts the presentation of the evidence towards a less ambiguous and more certainly negative view both of the Italians, as compared to their foes the Trojans, and of Turnus.

Before Nisus and Euryalus set out on their night raid, there is a reference to Creusa when Euryalus asks Ascanius to console his mother while he is away, and Ascanius replies that she (Euryalus’ mother) will be his mother only lacking the name of Creusa (9.297-98).
Furthermore, Euryalus is hindered in his steps due to the weight of plunder (9.384-85), which recalls the image of Aeneas carrying Anchises on his shoulders, as though loaded with booty (2.707).
Even the pius amor (5.295-96) that Nisus felt for Euryalus, which can be interpreted as homoerotic or paternal love (Pavlock 1985), recalls the amor that Creusa felt for her husband (2.638-49), which corresponded to Aeneas’; pietas, excluding her from his male circle (2.711; on pietas implications, Perkell 1981).
