Thang thusly plagiarised:

"Peneleos closed with Lycon— they’d missed each other with spears, two wasted casts, so now both clashed with swords.

Lycon, flailing, chopped the horn of Peneleos’ horsehair-crested
helmet but round the socket the sword-blade smashed to bits— just as
Peneleos hacked his neck below the ear and the blade sank clean
through, nothing held but a flap of skin, the head swung loose to the
side as Lycon slumped down to the ground … There— at a dead run
Meriones ran down Acamas, Acamas mounting behind his team, and gouged
his right shoulder— he pitched from the car and the mist whirled down
his eyes.

Idomeneus skewered Erymas straight through the mouth, the merciless
brazen spearpoint raking through, up under the brain to split his
glistening skull— teeth shattered out, both eyes brimmed to the lids
with a gush of blood and both nostrils spurting, mouth gaping, blowing convulsive sprays of blood and death’s dark cloud closed down around
his corpse."

Robert Fagles, trans.
The Iliad (New York: Viking Penguin, 1990), 423-24.
