Acamas, the Thracians’ best man, brave and tall, is killed when Ajax’s bronze spear pierces his helmet, forehead, and brain.

See evidence text
“Ajax son of Telamon, tower of strength to the Achaeans, broke a phalanx of the Trojans, and came to the assistance of his comrades by killing Acamas son of Eussorus, the best man among the Thracians, being both brave and of great stature. The spear struck the projecting peak of his helmet: its bronze point then went through his forehead into the brain, and darkness veiled his eyes”
