Auszug: ... goes through thee and at the same moment he threw his spear, but so that it did not hit him, but flew over his head, and stayed itself in the ground beyond. Dolon stood still, his teeth chattering with fright, and when they came up to him he said between his tears, Kill me not, but take me prisoner, for my father is rich and he will willingly ransom me when he hears that I am in your hands. Ulysses answered, Think not now of death; but tell me why hast thou come out at night to the field of battle, --to spy for news, or for some other purpose? With a trembling voice Dolon made answer, Alas, it is Hector who has brought this trouble upon me. He promised me the chariot and horses of Achilles if I would bring him news about you. At this Ulysses smiled and said, Thou trustest overmuch in thine own powers: none save Achilles himself can control those horses. But say, where is the tent of Hector? and how is the camp guarded? Dolon replied, Hector and the other princes are in the midst of the camp, and the rest of the Trojans keep watch around their fires. But the allies are asleep, for they have no women and children in the city to guard. Once more Ulysses asked, Are the allies dispersed amongst the Trojans, or do they camp apart? Dolon gave information as to where the several bands had encamped; and hoping to gain the good-will of the heroes, he added, If you wish to creep in the camp you will find in the outermost rank the Thracians and their king Rhesus, who has the most beautiful horses I have ever seen; they are snow-white and as swift as the wind. His chariot gleams with silver and gold, and his armour is of pure gold. But now, take me to your ships, or bind me here to.
