camilla is what lausus could’ve been if he outlived mezentius because think about it— metabus and mezentius were both driven to exile by their people for being shitty kings and tried to or at least wanted to give their children a better future. camilla seemed to have regained control over the volsci during the time of the aeneid most likely because she was a good ruler considering that her soldiers were shown to be loyal to her, and lausus could’ve probably done the same with the etruscans if he outlived mezentius considering that he was implied to be a way better person than him
also lausus’ name literally just means “prince” in etruscan lmfao. i know his parents probably named him that but you could also interpret it as him having the potential to be willingly endorsed by the etruscans as their prince
