Galaxy/The codex of Demoleon

Son of Antenor, a valiant warder of battle, whom Achilles pierced in the temple through the helmet with cheek-pieces of bronze when the chariots of the Achaeans tore Iphition asunder in the forefront of the fray — brother of Archelochus and Acamas among the Dardanian captains.1

Over Iphition the chariots of the Achaeans tore asunder with their tires in the forefront of the fray, and over him Demoleon, Antenor's son, a valiant warder of battle, did Achilles pierce in the temple through the helmet with cheek-pieces of bronze. Nor did the bronze helm stay the spear, but through it sped the spear-point and brake asunder the bone; and all the brain was scattered about within.2
