Lausus was the son of the Etruscan king Mezentius. He fought against Aeneas and his followers who escaped Troy after the Greeks conquered Troy and burned the city. The tale of these warriors appears in Virgil's Aeneid. After Aeneas wounds Mezentius in battle, Lausus comes to the defense of his father and Aeneas then strikes both. This illustration from around 1900 shows Aeneas soon after killing Lausus, when he expresses regrets to Lausus' comrades for what he has just done.
