Galaxy/The codex of Peiros

The sinews twain and the bones did the ruthless stone utterly crush; and he fell backward in the dust and stretched out both his hands to his dear comrades, gasping out his life; and there ran up he that smote him, and Thoas of Aetolia cast at Peiros and drave the spear through his breast beside the nipple.2
