While Oath of the Horatii and The Tennis Court Oath stress the importance of masculine self-sacrifice for one's country and patriotism, the Distribution of Eagles would ask for self-sacrifice for one's Emperor (Napoleon) and the importance of battlefield glory.
Mentres no Xuramento dos Horacios e O xuramento do Xogo de Pelota se resalta a importancia do autosacrificio masculino polo propio país e por patriotismo, a Distribución das Aguias falaría do autosacrificio polo emperador (Napoleón) e a importancia da gloria obtida no campo de batalla.
