“even so was no one of the Trojans able to ward off destruction from these twain, but themselves were driven in flight before the Argives. Then took he PeisanderPePe and HippolochusHiHi, staunch in fight. Sons were they of wise-hearted AntimachusAnAn, who above all others in hope to receive gold from Alexander, goodly gifts,”
“had come on an embassage with godlike Odysseus, bade slay him then and there, neither suffer him to return to the Achaeans, now of a surety shall ye pay the price of your father's foul outrage. He spake, and thrust PeisanderPePe from his chariot to the ground, smiting him with his spear upon the breast, and backward was he hurled upon the earth.”
“even a sling that his squire carried for him, the shepherd of the host. But PeisanderPePe made straight at glorious MenelausMeMe; howbeit an evil fate was leading him to the end of death, to be slain by thee, MenelausMeMe, in the dread conflict. And when they were come near, as they advanced one against the other,”
“But the son of Atreusdrew his silver-studded sword, and leapt upon PeisanderPePe; and he from beneath his shield grasped a goodly axe of fine bronze, set on a haft of olive-wood, long and well-polished; and at the one moment they set each upon the other. PeisanderPePe verily smote MenelausMeMe upon the horn of his helmet with crest of horse-hair”
