		Keep those arms in which you glory, and fear not but that your body shall be restored to your friends, and have due funeral honors.” So saying, he called the timid followers and delivered the body into their hands.
		Mezentius meanwhile had been borne to the riverside, and washed his wound.
		Mezentius asked no mercy, but only that his body might be spared the insults of his revolted subjects, and be buried in the same grave with his son.

		Mezentius is endowed with two crucial characteristics that Aeneas lacks: knowledge (haud inscius, 907) and an ability to cope rationally with disaster.
		Mezentius' world view does not eradicate violence, but because it does not suppress the true nature of the universe, it is better able to accept disaster without creating more in the process.
		Mezentius is a symbol of chaos and thus is a pure monster to Evander and Aeneid, whose world view he threatens.

	Marius Flavius Vespasianus
		Mezentius was filled with so many stories and experiences; tales of old Greece and Alexander the Great seemed to flow from his lips, told with the detail and clarity of one who had been there to witness them.
		He learned that Mezentius was of a family of vrykolakes that called themselves Venturii, and unlike the vrykolakes of peasant myth -- horrible bloated, corpse-like creatures -- the Venturii were elegant, divine, and powerful, especially noted for their skill at leading others.
		Mezentius was closing in on his political goals, but the reign of Nero caused enough instability in the Empire to precipitate another delay.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: The Aeneid
		When Mezentius hears of the death of his son, he is grief-stricken and sets out to avenge Lausus’s death or to die himself.
		Mezentius is acting out of a paternal love similar to the bond between Aeneas and Ascanius, and when he finally dies, he does it bravely, turning his throat up to meet Aeneas’s sword.
		Even though Mezentius is a “bad guy,” he is no stock evil character, deprived of redeeming characteristics; he is a complex, multilayered character who stands as a testament to Virgil’s extraordinary craftsmanship.

	Chapter Lausus and Lydia of Lausus and Lydia by J.F. Marmontel
		Deceived more and more by the feigned tranquillity of Mezentius, the credulous Lausus flattered himself that he should very soon see his duty accord with his inclination, and nothing in the world, in his opinion, was easier than to reconcile them.
		The very day of Lausus’ departure, Mezentius had caused honorable conditions of peace to be proposed to the King of Praeneste, the first article of which was his marriage with the daughter of the vanquished monarch.
		The latter was therefore inconsolable on hearing of the marriage of Lydia with Mezentius: he thought it his duty to acquaint the prince with it.

		Mezentius threw his spear, which striking Aeneas's shield glanced off and hit Anthor.
		The poet says of him with simple pathos which has made the words proverbial, "He fell, unhappy, by a wound intended for another, looked up at the skies, and dying remembered sweet Argos." [Footnote: See Proverbial Expressions.] Aeneas now in turn hurled his lance.
		Aeneas held his sword suspended over Lausus and delayed to strike, but the furious youth pressed on and he was compelled to deal the fatal blow.

		Although gravely wounded, Mezentius takes on a heroic stature by fighting Aeneas to avenge his son’s death and make amends for his own evil past.
		Mezentius also contrasts—negatively—with Aeneas, at least in terms of their respect for the gods.
		Addressing the Trojan leader before flinging his spear at him, the evil king deliberately calls on no god to steady his aim, claiming that his right arm is the only god he needs.

		Not because she had pleasured Mezentius so well, but because her plans to stay untouched by him had apparently worked exactly like she hoped they would.
		The first time Mezentius had called for her, she had gone down on him like her life depended on it, even though she hadn’t know for sure if she was doing a good job at the time.

		Though Mezentius eventually allows himself to be killed in battle, the death of his innocent son, Lausus, is the king’s true punishment for his actions.
		Mezentius himself acknowledges this: My son, I stained your name with wickedness — Driven out as I was, under a cloud, From throne and scepter of my ancestors.
		The prince’s death is Mezentius’ just reward for his evils, as justice does not ignore the wrongs of the aristocracy.

		A difficult task indeed as she knew that many of the worthless scum that fought for Mezentius, Caputius and Krykus deserved to be dead.
		She was afraid one of Mezentius' men would jump out of the bush and drag her back into slavery.
		Mezentius always said 'hands off', but he's dead now, so the way I see it, she's fair game." Both men steadily closed the distance between the two women, one on either side, like lumbering scruffy book ends.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.10.31
		She shows that Ovid's account of Aeneas' defeat of Mezentius shows both similarities to and divergences from Virgil.
		By verbal allusion, rhetorical colouring and metrical emphasis Ovid uses Virgil to highlight his characterisation of Mezentius, subtly re-directing the story to emphasise Mezentius' brutality.
		Mezentius is shown to be an outsider in the poetic world of the Fasti, which is devoted to peace and rejects violence.
