Capture of Dolon by Odysseus and Diomedes, Krater London, British Museum F 157 , c. 5/4th century

They all sat there in silence,
saying nothing.  Now, among the Trojans
was a man called Dolon, son of Eumedes,
a sacred herald, a man rich in gold and bronze.
Dolon wasn't much to look at, but he ran fast.
He was the only male child, with five sisters.
