The Iliad 13.255–258
Idomeneus, counsellor of the brazen-coated Cretans, I am on my way to fetch a spear, if perchance thou hast one left in the huts; for the one that I bare of old have I shattered, as I cast at the shield of the overweening Deïphobus. And to him Idomeneus, leader of the Cretans, made answer:
Ἰδομενεῦ, Κρητῶν βουληφόρε χαλκοχιτώνων, ἔρχομαι εἴ τί τοι ἔγχος ἐνὶ κλισίῃσι λέλειπται οἰσόμενος· τό νυ γὰρ κατεάξαμεν πρὶν ἔχεσκον ἀσπίδα Δηϊφόβοιο βαλὼν ὑπερηνορέοντος.
