ARGUMENT OF THE ELEVENTH BOOK.

1Agamemnon distinguishes himself. He is wounded, and retires. Diomede is

2wounded by Paris; Ulysses by Socus. Ajax with Menelaus flies to the

3relief of Ulysses, and Eurypylus, soon after, to the relief of Ajax.

4While he is employed in assisting Ajax, he is shot in the thigh by

5Paris, who also wounds Machaon. Nestor conveys Machaon from the field.

6Achilles dispatches Patroclus to the tent of Nestor, and Nestor takes

7that occasion to exhort Patroclus to engage in battle, clothed in the

8armor of Achilles.
