Τρώων δ᾽ οἰώθη καὶ Ἀχαιῶν φύλοπις αἰνή :
πολλὰ δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθ᾽ ἴθυσε μάχη πεδίοιο
ἀλλήλων ἰθυνομένων χαλκήρεα δοῦρα
μεσσηγὺς Σιμόεντος ἰδὲ Ξάνθοιο ῥοάων .
Αἴας δὲ πρῶτος Τελαμώνιος ἕρκος Ἀχαιῶν
Τρώων ῥῆξε φάλαγγα , φόως δ᾽ ἑτάροισιν ἔθηκεν ,
ἄνδρα βαλὼν ὃς ἄριστος ἐνὶ Θρῄκεσσι τέτυκτο
υἱὸν Ἐϋσσώρου Ἀκάμαντ᾽ ἠΰν τε μέγαν τε .

So
was
the
dread
strife
of
the
Trojans
and
Achaeans
left
to
itself
,
and
oft
to
this
side
and
to
that
surged
the
battle
over
the
plain
,
as
they
aimed
one
at
the
other
their
bronze-tipped
spears
between
the
Simoïs
and
the
streams
of
Xanthus
.
[

]
Aias
,
son
of
Telamon
,
bulwark
of
the
Achaeans
was
first
to
break
a
battalion
of
the
Trojans
,
and
to
bring
a
light
of
deliverance
to
his
comrades
,
for
he
smote
a
man
that
was
chiefest
among
the
Thracians
,
even
Eüssorus
'
son
Acamas
,
a
valiant
man
and
tall
.
