At one time he pressed forward into the thickest of the battle to rescue a Trojan leader named Pandarus, who was beset by his foes and brought into very imminent danger. Æneas did not succeed in saving his friend. Pandarus was killed. Æneas, however, flew to the spot, and by means of the most extraordinary feats of strength and valor he drove the Greeks away from the body.
But as we have never seen the actual objects, perhaps the poet's phrases were clear enough to his audience and are only difficult to us. I do not, for example, profess to be sure of what happened when Pandarus shot at Menelaus. The arrow lighted "where the golden buckles of the zoster were clasped, and the doubled breastplate met them.
Thus said the discreet Sosia, keeping his face muffled in his cloak, and speaking with a feigned voice, so that he might not hereafter be recognized. 'By the gods a pimp! Unfeeling wretch! do you not see my sorrows? Go! and the curses of Pandarus with you! Sosia lost not a moment in retiring. 'Will you read the letter, Sallust? said the freedman.
It is chiefly your business which I have done of late; and if it were less strictly honest than I could have wished, the employer was to blame as well as the agent. The Duke laughed loudly. "Why, this is mine Ancient Pistol's vein," he replied. "Shall I Sir Pandarus of Troy become, And by my side wear steel? then Lucifer take all!"
This was the mark, and four archers came forward to contend for the prizes, Hippocoön, the brother of Nisus and one of Æneas's dearest friends; Mnestheus, the winner of the second prize in the galley race; Eurytion, a brother of that Pandarus who was one of the most skillful archers that fought in the Trojan war, and who, after wounding Menelaus, was slain by Diomedes; and lastly, King Acestes himself.
Conroy. Sir John Chartres stumped out, saying to Gilbert in the corridor, 'It's all very fine, but the question is shall I or we "Sir Pandarus of Troy become," eh? We're bound to think of the children. 'Have you been vetted? said Miss Henschil, a few minutes after the train started. 'May I sit with you? I I don't trust myself yet. I can't give up as easily as you can, seemingly. 'Can't you?
For all their vain struggles he flung them both from their chariot and stripped the armour from their bodies. Then he gave their horses to his comrades to take them back to the ships. When Aeneas saw him thus making havoc among the ranks, he went through the fight amid the rain of spears to see if he could find Pandarus.
Malone fares somewhat better; and the rest are dismissed with the gentle valediction of Pandarus to the Trojans "asses, fools, dolts! chaff and bran! porridge after meat!"
With these words she put heart and soul into them all, while Minerva sprang to the side of the son of Tydeus, whom she found near his chariot and horses, cooling the wound that Pandarus had given him. For the sweat caused by the hand that bore the weight of his shield irritated the hurt: his arm was weary with pain, and he was lifting up the strap to wipe away the blood.
They rushed on to battle to be met by the Trojans whose host "knew not one voice or one speech; their language was mixed, for they were men called from many lands." In the fight Diomedes, though at first wounded by Pandarus, speedily returned refreshed and strengthened by Athena. His great deeds drew upon him Pandarus and Aeneas, the son of Aphrodite and the future founder of Rome's greatness.
