Medon fell before Aeneas, and with him Iasus died. Medon was great Otleus’ base-born son, And Ajax was his brother, and he dwelt In Phylacè, an exile, for his hand Had slain the brother of his father’s wife, The step-dame Eriopis, late espoused. Iasus was appointed to command The warriors sent from Athens, and he claimed His birth from Sphelus, son of Bucolus. Mecistes fell before Polydamas. Polites struck down Echius in the van, And Clonius died by great Agenor’s hand; And Paris, when Deiochus had turned To flee, among the foremost combatants, Smote him upon the shoulder from behind, And drave the brazen weapon through his heart.
