The Iliad 8.93–96
Let it not be that as thou fleest some man plant his spear in thy back. Nay, hold thy ground, that we may thrust back from old Nestor this wild warrior.
διογενὲς Λαερτιάδη πολυμήχανʼ Ὀδυσσεῦ πῇ φεύγεις μετὰ νῶτα βαλὼν κακὸς ὣς ἐν ὁμίλῳ; μή τίς τοι φεύγοντι μεταφρένῳ ἐν δόρυ πήξῃ· ἀλλὰ μένʼ ὄφρα γέροντος ἀπώσομεν ἄγριον ἄνδρα.
