HECTOR

When she had thus spoken Iris left him, and Hector sprang full armed

from his chariot to the ground, brandishing his spear as he went about

everywhere among the host, cheering his men on to fight, and

stirring the dread strife of battle. The Trojans then wheeled round,

and again met the Achaeans, while the Argives on their part

strengthened their battalions. The battle was now in array and they

stood face to face with one another, Agamemnon ever pressing forward

in his eagerness to be ahead of all others.
