Book 14, Lines 520–522

Swiftness of Ajax, son of Oileus

A

But Aías the swift runner, son of Oïleus,

killed more than any: none could chase as he could

a soldier panicked in that god-sent rout.

B

But Ajax, swift son of Oïleus, killed the most.

For none could match his speed on foot, as he ran,

chasing men in flight when Zeus forced them to flee.
