Bring the spears!” — and precious bows, and great suits of armor; some shouted to the charioteers, “Yoke the chariots!”, while others themselves led out horses adorned with gold; as chariots, armor, and banners were being brought up, there was then great confusion amid the war-cry of the heroic men.’
