The Iliad 11.523–530
Trojans are driven in rout confusedly, both horses and men. And it is Aias, son of Telamon, that driveth them; well do I know him, for wide is the shield he hath about his shoulders. Nay, let us too drive thither our horses and car, where most of all horsemen and footmen, vying in evil rivalry, are slaying one another, and the cry goes up unquenchable.
Ἕκτορ νῶϊ μὲν ἐνθάδʼ ὁμιλέομεν Δαναοῖσιν
ἐσχατιῇ πολέμοιο δυσηχέος· οἳ δὲ δὴ ἄλλοι
Τρῶες ὀρίνονται ἐπιμὶξ ἵπποι τε καὶ αὐτοί.
Αἴας δὲ κλονέει Τελαμώνιος· εὖ δέ μιν ἔγνων·
εὐρὺ γὰρ ἀμφʼ ὤμοισιν ἔχει σάκος· ἀλλὰ καὶ ἡμεῖς
κεῖσʼ ἵππους τε καὶ ἅρμʼ ἰθύνομεν, ἔνθα μάλιστα
ἱππῆες πεζοί τε κακὴν ἔριδα προβαλόντες
ἀλλήλους ὀλέκουσι, βοὴ δʼ ἄσβεστος ὄρωρεν.
