And one of these false Trojans will say, when he sees the tomb of Menelaus, Surely the great Agamemnon has not got that for which he came.
for he brought a great army to destroy the city of Troy.
But Troy still stands, and he and his army have gone back.
Only he has left his brother behind him.
But Menelaus said, Do not trouble yourself, my brother, for the wound is not deep.
See, here is the barb of the arrow.
Then King Agamemnon commanded that they should fetch Machaon, the great physician.
So Machaon came, and drew the arrow out of the wound, and wiped away the blood, and put healing drugs upon the place, which took away all the pain.
After this King Agamemnon went through the army, to see that it was ready for battle.
When he found any one bestirring himself, putting his men in order, and doing such things as it was his duty to do, him he praised.
And if he saw any one idle and slow to move, him he rebuked.
When all was ready, then the host went forward.
In silence it went, but the Trojans, on the other hand, were as noisy as a flock of sheep, which bleats when they hear the voice of the lambs.
End of How the Oath Was Broken
THE GREAT DEEDS OF DIOMEDE
many great deeds were done that day and many chiefs showed themselves to be valiant men but the greatest deeds were done by diomede and of all the chiefs there was not one who could be matched with him
no one could tell so fierce was he and so swiftly did he charge in which host he was fighting whether with the greeks or with the sons of troy after a while the great archer pandarus aimed an arrow at him and hit him on the right shoulder and when pandarus saw that he had hit him for the blood started out from the wound
he cried out in great joy o men of troy i have wounded the bravest of the greeks he will soon fall dead in his chariot or grow so weak that he can fight no longer but diomede was not to be conquered in this fashion he leaped down from his chariot and said to the man who drove the horses come and draw this arrow out of the wound and this the driver did
And when Diomedes saw the blood spurt from the wound, he prayed to the goddess Athena, O goddess, stand by me, as you always did stand by my father.
And as for the man who has wounded me, let him come within a spear's cast of me, and he will never boast again.
