Agenor was among the party physically gathered on the rising slope of the plain of Troy.
“The Trojans, on the other side upon the rising slope of the plain, were gathered round great Hector, noble Polydamas, Aeneas who was honoured by the Trojans like an immortal, and the three sons of Antenor, Polybus, Agenor, and young Acamas beauteous as a god.”
Agenor imagines himself hurrying over the plain of Troy.
“he would see me as I am hurrying from the city over the plain”
Agenor imagines reaching the spurs of Ida and hiding in their underwood.
“till I reach the spurs of Ida and can hide in the underwood that is thereon”
Agenor stands before Ilius and challenges Achilles there.
“to defend Ilius. Here therefore, huge and mighty warrior though you be, here shall you die”
Agenor sees Elephenor hauling the body away and kills him by striking his unprotected side with a bronze-shod spear.
“Agenor saw him haling the body away, and smote him in the side with his bronze-shod spear—for as he stooped his side was left unprotected by his shield—and thus he perished”
Agenor extracts the spear from Helenus’s hand and carefully binds it in a woollen sling.
“the spear went right through his hand and stuck in the bow itself, so that to his life he retreated under cover of his men, with his hand dragging by his side—for the spear weighed it down till Agenor drew it out and bound the hand carefully up in a woollen sling which his esquire had with him.”
Agenor is among the named princes who surround fallen Hector and cover him with round shields before his evacuation.
“he was surrounded and covered by the princes Polydamas, Aeneas, Agenor, Sarpedon captain of the Lycians, and noble Glaucus. Of the others, too, there was not one who was unmindful of him, and they held their round shields over him to cover him.”
Agenor slays Clonius.
“Agenor slew Clonius.”
Agenor rejects concealment, judges Achilles the mightiest man yet still mortal, and resolves to meet him before the city.
“But why commune with myself in this way? Like enough he would see me as I am hurrying from the city over the plain, and would speed after me till he had caught me—I should stand no chance against him, for he is mightiest of all mankind. What, then, if I go out and meet him in front of the city? His flesh too, I take it, can be pierced by pointed bronze. Life is the same in one and all, and men say that he is but mortal despite the triumph that Jove son of Saturn vouchsafes him.”
Agenor takes aim at Achilles with his spear while holding a round shield before him and crying loudly.
“took aim at him with his spear, holding his round shield before him and crying with a loud voice.”
Agenor’s strong hand hurls his javelin into Achilles’s leg below the knee; it rings against the new tin greave but recoils without piercing him.
“As he spoke his strong hand hurled his javelin from him, and the spear struck Achilles on the leg beneath the knee; the greave of newly wrought tin rang loudly, but the spear recoiled from the body of him whom it had struck, and did not pierce it”
