Then Hector aimed again his shining spear At Ajax, who perceived it as it came, And just avoided it. The weapon struck Schedius, the valiant son of Iphitus, And bravest of the Phocians, whose abode Was Panopeus the famous, where he ruled O’er many men. Beneath the collar-bone It pierced him, and passed through; the brazen point Came out upon the shoulder; to the ground He fell, his armor clashing with his fall. Then Ajax smote the valiant Phorcys, son Of Phoenops, in the navel. Through the mail The brazen weapon broke, and roughly tore The entrails. In the dust he fell, and clenched The earth with dying hands. The foremost ranks, Led by illustrious Hector, at the sight Yielded the ground; the Greeks with fearful shouts Dragged off the bodies of Hippothoüs And Phorcys, and despoiled them of their arms.
