but neas would not leave his comrade he leapt from the chariot and stood with shield and spear over the body as a lion stands over the carcass of some beast which it has killed now diomed had no spear in hand neither could he draw out from the dead body that which he had thrown
Therefore he stooped, and took up from the ground a big stone.
So big was it, that two men, such as men are now, could scarcely lift it up, and threw it at Aeneas.
On the hip it struck him, and crushed the bone, and the hero fell upon his knees, and clutched at the ground with his hands, and everything grew dark before his eyes.
Thus had he died, but for his mother, the goddess Aphrodite.
She caught him up in her arms, and threw a veil over him to hide him.
But Diomedes did not like that he should escape, and he rushed with his spear at the goddess, and wounded her in the arm, and the blood gushed out.
Such blood as flows in the veins of gods, who eat not the food, nor drink the drink of men.
She dropped her son with a loud shriek, and fled up into the sky.
And bold Diomedes called after her.
You should not join in the battle, daughter of Zeus.
You have to do not with men, but with women."
But Apollo caught up in Aeas, when his mother dropped him.
Even then Diomedes was loath to let him escape, for he was bent on killing him and stripping him of his arms.
Three times did he spring forward, and three times did Apollo put back his shining shield.
And when he came to the fourth time, Apollo called out to him in an awful voice,
Beware, Diomedes, do not think to fight with gods.
Then Diomedes fell back, for he was afraid.
But Apollo carried Aeneas to the citadel of Troy, and there his mother Latona and his sister Artemis healed the hero of his wounds.
But he left an image of the hero in the midst of the battle, and over him the Greeks and the Trojans fought, as if it had been the real Aeneas.
