So the two armies came together, and shield was dashed against shield, and spear against spear, and there was a great clash of arms and shouting of men.
So long as the sun was rising higher in the sky, neither of the two prevailed over the other.
But at noon Zeus held out in the sky his golden scales, and in one scale he laid a weight for the Trojans,
and in the other a weight for the greeks now the weights were weights of death and the army whose weight was the heavier would suffer most and lo the scale of the greeks sank lower then zeus sent a thunderbolt from the top of mount ida into the army of the greeks and there was great fear among both men and horses after this no man could hold his ground
Only old Nestor remained where he was, and he remained against his will, for Paris had killed one of his horses with an arrow, and the chariot could not be moved.
So the old man began to cut the traces, that he might free the horse that was yet alive from the horse that was dead.
While he was doing this, Hector came through the crowd of fighting men.
Then had the old man perished, but Diomedes saw it and went to help him.
But first he called to Ulysses, whom he saw close by, running towards the ships.
"'Ulysses!'
he cried, as loudly as he could.
"'Where are you going?
Are you not ashamed to turn your back in this way, like a coward?
Take care that no man thrust you in the back with a spear, and disgrace you for ever.
Stop now, and help me to save old Nestor from this fierce Hector.'
So he spoke.
But Ulysses gave no heed to his words, but still fled to the ships, for he was really afraid.
and diomedes saw this he made haste though he was alone to go to the help of nestor when he got to the place where the old man was he stopped his chariot and said old friend the young warriors are too much for you leave your own chariot for others to look after and climb into mine and see what these horses of king tros can do for these are they which i took away from neas there are none faster or better or easier to turn this way or that
take these reins in your hand and i will go against this hector and see whether the spear of diomede is as strong as it was of old so old nestor climbed up into his chariot and took the reins in his hand and touched the horses with the whip driving straight at hector
and when they were near him diomed threw his spear at him him he missed but he struck down his charioteer and the man fell dead to the ground hector was greatly grieved but he let him lie where he fell for he must needs find another man to drive the horses
