During the siege of
Troy, Clonie killed the
Achaean warrior
Menippus and in turn died at the hands of the latter's comrade,
Podarces."... and Clonie [slayed] Menippus, him who sailed long since from
Phylace, led by his lord
Protesilaus to the war with Troy. Then was Podarces, son of
Iphiclus, heart-wrung with ruth and wrath to see him lie dead, of all battle-comrades best-beloved. Swiftly at Clonie he hurled, the maid fair as a Goddess: plunged the unswerving lance 'twixt hip and hip, and rushed the dark blood forth after the spear, and all her bowels gushed out." == Notes ==
