Aeneas, the protagonist of Virgil's "Aeneid," killed several key figures during his journey, most notably Turnus, the leader of the Rutulians. Their confrontation culminates in a fierce duel where Aeneas avenges the death of his friend Pallas, whom Turnus had killed. Ultimately, Aeneas kills Turnus in a moment of rage and retribution, marking a pivotal point in the epic's narrative.
When Aeneas has a chance to kill Helen he definitely wants to but his mother Venus (Aphrodite) warns him not to so he listens to her and doesn't kill Helen.
No, Pyrrhus did not kill Aeneas. In Greek mythology and the epic "Aeneid" by Virgil, Aeneas escapes the fall of Troy and ultimately becomes a hero of his own journey, while Pyrrhus (also known as Neoptolemus) is depicted as a brutal warrior who kills Priam, the king of Troy. Their paths do not cross in a way that leads to Aeneas's death at Pyrrhus's hands.
Dido was abandoned by Aeneas, as Mercury told Aeneas that he must travel to Italy and leave Dido, as Mercury reminds Aeneas that Dido is not part of his fate. Dido proceeds to kill herself out of sorrow by stabbing herself with an "ensis" (sword).
Aeneas killed Turnus in a moment of rage and vengeance after defeating him in single combat during the climax of the "Aeneid." Turnus had killed Pallas, Aeneas' close ally, which fueled Aeneas' desire for retribution. Despite initially considering mercy, Aeneas ultimately succumbed to his anger and the need to avenge Pallas, leading him to slay Turnus. This act underscores the themes of fate, duty, and the personal cost of war present in Virgil's epic.
Throughout the Aeneid Aeneas follows the will of the Gods (which is also Fate). Aeneas is fated to kill Turnus, so that the Roman race can establish itself in Italy. It is Aeneas' duty to follow his destiny, since resisting destiny is to resist the will of the gods. Vergil in many ways has ideas which closely anticipate the thinking of the Christians who would arrive a few generations later. The idea of submitting one's personal desires to the will of god is very Christian. (Aeneas does it by leaving Dido, Christ did it in the Garden of Gethsemane).
