ἔνθ'. οὔ τις πρότερος Δαναῶν. πολλῶν περ εόντων
εὔξατο Τυδείδαο πάρος σχέμεν ὠκέας ἵππους.
τάφρου τ' ἐξελάσαι, καὶ ἐναντίβιον μαχέσασθαι:
ἀλλα πολὺ πρῶτος Τρώων ἕλεν ἄνδρα κορυστὴν
Φραδμονίδην Ἀγέλᾱον: ὁ μὲν φύγαδ' ἔτραπεν ἵππους,
τῷ δὲ μεταστρεφθέντι, μεταφρένῳ, ἐν δόρυ πῆξεν
ὤμων μεσσηγὺς. διὰ δὲ στήθεσφιν ἔλασσεν:
ήριπε δ' ἐξ οχέων, ἀράβησε δὲ τεύχε' ἐπ αυτῷ:
Then might no man of the Danaans, for all they were so many, vaunt that he before the son of Tydeus guided his swift horses to drive them forth across the trench and to fight man to man; nay he was first by far to slay a mailed warrior of the Trojans, even Agelaus, Phradraon's son. He in sooth had turned his horses to flee, but as he wheeled about Diomedes fixed his spear in his back between the shoulders, and drave it through his breast; so he fell from out the car, and upon him his armour clanged.
