spear rebounded from it, and did not pierce it. Hector was angry
when he saw that the weapon had sped from his hand in vain, and
stood there in dismay for he had no second spear. With a loud cry
he called Deiphobus and asked him for one, but there was no
Deiphobus; then he saw the truth and said to himself, "Alas! the
gods have lured me on to my destruction. I deemed that the hero
Deiphobus was by my side, but he is within the wall, and Minerva
has inveigled me; death is now indeed exceedingly near at hand and
there is no way out of it- -for so Jove and his son Apollo the
far-darter have willed it, though heretofore they have been ever
ready to protect me. My doom has come upon me; let me not then die
ingloriously and without a struggle, but let me first do some great
thing that shall be told among men hereafter. As he spoke he drew
