ῆ καὶ Θυμβραῖον μὲν ἀφ' ἵππων ῶσε χαμᾶζε
δουρὶ βαλὼν κατα μαζὸν ἀριστερὸν: αὐτὰρ Ὀδυσσεὺς
ἀντίθεον θεράποντα Μολί̄ονα τοῖο ἄνακτος:
τοὺς μὲν ἔπειτ' εἴασαν, ἐπεὶ πολέμου ἀπέπαυσαν:
τὼ δ' ἀν ὅμιλον ἰ̈όντε κυδοίμεον; ὡς ὅτε κάπρω
ἐν κυσὶ θηρευτῇσι μέγα φρονέοντε πέσητον.
ὡς ὄλεκον Τρῶας παλινορμένω: αὐτὰρ Ἀχαιοὶ
ἀσπασίως φεύγοντες ἀνέπνεον Ἕκτορα δῖον:
He spake, and thrust Thymbraeus from his chariot to the ground, smiting him with his spear on the left breast, and Odysseus smote Molion, the godlike squire of that prince. These then they let be, when they had made them cease from war; but the twain ranged throughout the throng, making havoc of it, as when two boars with high hearts fall upon hunting hounds; even so they turned again upon the Trojans and slew them, and the Achaeans gladly had respite in their flight before goodly Hector.
