Then Meriones took aim with his shiningspear, and struck him (nor did he miss) upon the bull's-hide shield, equal on all sides, which he did not pierce; for the long spear, farbefore was broken at the socket. But Deïphobus held his bull's-hideshield far from him, for he dreaded in his mind the spear of warlikeMeriones; but that hero fell back into the column of his companions, forhe was grievously enraged on both accounts, both for [the loss] of thevictory, and of the spear which he had broken.... Accordingly he proceededto pass by the tents and ships of the Greeks, to bring a long spearwhich had been left in his tent; whilst the others fought, and a mightytumult arose. Then Telamonian Teucer first slew a hero, the warrior Imbrius, son ofMentor, rich in steeds; and he dwelt at Pedæum before the sons of theGreeks arrived, and had married Medesicaste, the illegitimate daughterof Priam. But when the equally-plied ships of the Greeks arrived, hecame back to Ilium, and excelled among the Trojans; and dwelt withPriam, who honoured him equally with his sons.
