“even they that were most in number and bravest, and that were most fain to break through the wall and fight by the hollow ships, and with them followed CebrionesCeCe as the third; for by his chariot had Hectorleft another man, weaker than CebrionesCeCe. The second company was led by Paris
and AlcathousAlAl and AgenorAgAg, and the third by Helenus
and godlike Deïphobus—”
“So saying, he aroused the strength and spirit of every man. Then among them with high heart strode Deïphobus, son of Priam, and before him he held his shield that was well-balanced upon every side, stepping forward lightly on his feet and advancing under cover of his shield. And MerionesMeMe aimed at him with his bright spear,”
“IdomeneusIdId, counsellor of the brazen-coated Cretans, I am on my way to fetch a spear, if perchance thou hast one left in the huts; for the one that I bare of old have I shattered, as I cast at the shield of the overweening Deïphobus. And to him IdomeneusIdId, leader of the Cretans, made answer:”
“and the horses AntilochusAnAn, son of great-souled Nestor, drave forth from the Trojans into the host of the well-greaved Achaeans. Then Deïphobus in sore grief for AsiusAsAs drew very nigh to IdomeneusIdId, and cast at him with his bright spear. Howbeit IdomeneusIdId, looking steadily at him, avoided the spear of bronze,”
“Yet nowise in vain did Deïphobus let the spear fly from his heavy hand, but he smote HypsenorHyHy, son of HippasusHiHi, shepherd of the people, in the liver beneath the midriff, and straightway loosed his knees. And Deïphobus exulted over him in terrible wise, and cried aloud: Hah, in good sooth not unavenged lies AsiusAsAs; nay, methinks,”
“But IdomeneusIdId exulted over him in terrible wise, and cried aloud: Deïphobus, shall we now deem perchance that due requital hath been made—three men slain for one—seeing thou boasteth thus? Nay, good sir, but stand forth thyself and face me, that thou mayest know what manner of son of Zeusam I that am come hither.”
“So spake he, and Deïphobus was divided in counsel, whether he should give ground and take to him as comrade some one of the great-souled Trojans, or should make trial by himself alone. And as he pondered this thing seemed to him the better—to go after Aeneas; and he found him standing last amid the throng,”

“looking unto Deïphobus, and Paris, and goodly AgenorAgAg, that with himself were leaders of the Trojans; and after them followed the host, as sheep follow after the ram to water from the place of feeding, and the shepherd joyeth in his heart; even so the heart of Aeneas
was glad in his breast,”
“but in flight his feet no longer bare him swiftly from the war. And as he drew back step by step Deïphobus cast at him with his shining spear, for verily he ever cherished a ceaseless hate against him. Howbeit this time again he missed him, and smote with his spear AscalaphusAsAs, son of Enyalius, and through the shoulder the mighty spear held its way;”
“and with loud shouting sped he through the Trojans and allies. And they hasted one and all toward the kindly Polydamas, son of PanthousPaPa when they heard the voice of Hector
. But he ranged through the foremost fighters, in quest of Deïphobus, and the valiant prince Helenus
, and AdamasAdAd, son of AsiusAsAs, and AsiusAsAs, son of HyrtacusHyHy,”
“where, I pray thee, is Deïphobus, and the valiant prince Helenus, and AdamasAdAd, son of AsiusAsAs, and AsiusAsAs, son of HyrtacusHyHy? Aye, and where, tell me, is Othryoneus? Now is steep Ilios wholly plunged into ruin; now, thou mayest see, is utter destruction sure. Then spake unto him again godlike Alexander
:”
“and stood leaning upon his bronze-barbed spear of ash. But she left him, and came to goodly Hectorin the likeness of DeiphobusDeDe both in form and untiring voice; and drawing nigh she spake to him winged words: Dear brother, full surely fleet Achilles
doeth violence unto thee,”
“and smote full upon the shield of the son of Peleus, and missed him not; but far from the shield the spear leapt back. And Hectorwaxed wroth for that the swift shaft had flown vainly from his hand, and he stood confounded, for he had no second spear of ash. Then he shouted aloud, and called to DeiphobusDeDe of the white shield,”
“and PammonPaPa and Antiphonus and PolitesPoPo, good at the war-cry, and DeiphobusDeDe and HippothousHiHi and lordly DiusDiDi. To these nine the old man called aloud, and gave command: Haste ye, base children that are my shame; would that ye all together in Hector's stead had been slain at the swift ships!”
