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
grim
the
encounter
of
Achaians
and
Trojans
was
left
to itself , and the battle veered greatly now one way , now in another ,
over the plain as they guided their bronze spears at each other
in the space between the waters of Xanthos and Simoeis .
First Telamonian Aias , that bastion of the Achaians ,
broke the Trojan battalions and brought light to his own company ,
striking down the man who was far the best of the Thracians ,
Akamas , the huge and mighty , the son of Eussoros .
