Then she made him sit down beside loud Skamandros, and the Danaans pushed the Trojans back. So they laboured in the violent mellay; but of Tydeides man could not tell with whom he were joined, whether he consorted with Trojans or with Achaians. Thus before Tydeides the serried battalions of the Trojans were overthrown, and they abode him not for all they were so many.

Homer - The Iliad

But the proud Trojans I will not cease from slaying until I have driven them into their city, and have made trial with Hector face to face whether he is to vanquish me or I him." Thus saying, he set upon the Trojans, like a god.
