And the spear went right through the shield, and through the armour that Paris wore upon his body, and through the tunic that was under the armour.

But Paris shrank away, so that the spear did not wound him.

Then Menelaus drew his sword, and struck the helmet of Paris on the top with a great blow.

But the sword was broken into four pieces.

Then he rushed upon Paris, and caught him by the helmet, and dragged him towards the army of the Greeks.

Neither could Paris help himself, for the strap of the helmet choked him.

Then, indeed, would Paris have been taken prisoner and killed, but that the goddess Aphrodite helped him, for he was her favourite.

She loosed the strap under his chin, and the helmet came off in the hand of Menelaus.

The king threw it among the Greeks, and, taking another spear in hand, ran furiously at Paris.

but the goddess covered him with a mist, and so snatched him away and sent him down in his own house at Troy.

Everywhere did Menelaus look for him, but he could not find him.

It was no one of the Trojans that hid him, for they all hated him as death.

Then said King Agamemnon in a loud voice, "'Now must you Trojans keep the covenant that you have made with an oath.

You must give back the fair Helen and her treasures, and we will take her and leave you in peace.'

But it was not to be, and this is how it came to pass that the oath was broken and the promise not kept.

Among the chiefs who came from the countries round about to help King Priam and the Trojans, there was a certain Pandarus, son of the king of Lycia.

He was a great archer, and could shoot an arrow as far and with as good an aim as any man in the army.
