Quintus Smyrnaeus' Account

"Agenor smote Molus the princely, -- with king Sthenelus he came from Argos, -- hurled from far behind a dart new-whetted, as he fled from fight, piercing his right leg, and the eager shaft cut sheer through the broad sinew, shattering the bones with anguished pain: and so his doom met him, to die a death of agony."
