The Epean captain Diores lies dead beside the Thracian captain Peirous, with many others fallen around them.
“Thus the two corpses lay stretched on earth near to one another, the one captain of the Thracians and the other of the Epeans; and many another fell round them”
Nestor remembers the Epeans arriving in full array with chariots and the armoured but inexperienced Moliones.
“the Epeans came in a body, many in number, they and their chariots, in full array, and with them the two Moliones in their armour, though they were still lads and unused to fighting”
The Epeans resist Hector under Meges, Amphion, and Dracius.
“the famous force of the Epeans could hardly stay Hector as he rushed on towards the ships, nor could they drive him from them, for he was as a wall of fire. The chosen men of the Athenians were in the van, led by Menestheus son of Peteos, with whom were also Pheidas, Stichius, and stalwart Bias; Meges son of Phyleus, Amphion, and Dracius commanded the Epeans”
