Verse
Iliad
Book 17, Line 188 by Samuel Butler (English)
With this Hektor left the fight, and ran full speed after his men who were taking the armor of Achilles to Troy , but had not yet got far. Standing for a while apart from the woeful fight, he changed his armor. His own he sent to the strong city of Ilion and to the Trojans, while he put on the immortal armor of the son of Peleus, which the gods had given to Peleus, who in his age gave it to his son; but the son did not grow old in his father's armor.
