[edit]

There was one more that Homer referred to in the Iliad Book 15, paragraph 25:

"He hurried away when he had thus spurred Antilochus, who at once darted out from the front ranks and aimed a spear, after looking carefully round him. The Trojans fell back as he threw, and the dart did not speed from his hand without effect, for it struck Melanippus the proud son of Hiketaon in the breast by the nipple as he was coming forward, and his armour rang rattling round him as he fell heavily to the ground."

I added him in.--Cúchullain t/c 21:50, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
