Eurypylus pursues the fleeing Hypsenor and cuts off his strong hand with a sword.
“Eurypylus gave him chase as he was flying before him, smote him with his sword upon the arm, and lopped his strong hand from off it. The bloody hand fell to the ground, and the shades of death, with fate that no man can withstand, came over his eyes.”
Eurypylus kills Melanthus.
“Eurypylus slew Melanthus”
Eurypylus son of Euaemon is among the nine Achaean champions who rise to answer Hector’s challenge.
“forthwith nine men started to their feet. Foremost of all uprose King Agamemnon, and after him brave Diomed the son of Tydeus. Next were the two Ajaxes, men clothed in valour as with a garment, and then Idomeneus, and Meriones his brother in arms. After these Eurypylus son of Euaemon, Thoas the son of Andraemon, and Ulysses also rose”
Eurypylus helps Ajax, kills and strips Apisaon, then withdraws under cover after Paris wounds his right thigh.
“Eurypylus the brave son of Euaemon saw that Ajax was being overpowered by the rain of arrows, he went up to him and hurled his spear. He struck Apisaon son of Phausius in the liver below the midriff, and laid him low. Eurypylus sprang upon him, and stripped the armour from his shoulders; but when Alexandrus saw him, he aimed an arrow at him which struck him in the right thigh; the arrow broke, but the point that was left in the wound dragged on the thigh; he drew back, therefore, under cover of his comrades to save his life”
Nestor reports Eurypylus among the Achaean leaders disabled by wounds.
“our most valiant chieftains lie disabled, brave Diomed, son of Tydeus, is wounded; so are Ulysses and Agamemnon; Eurypylus has been hit with an arrow in the thigh, and I have just been bringing this man from the field—he too wounded with an arrow”
Eurypylus limps from battle with sweat pouring and black blood welling from a thigh wound, though his mind remains clear.
“wounded in the thigh with an arrow, and limping out of the fight. Sweat rained from his head and shoulders, and black blood welled from his cruel wound, but his mind did not wander”
Eurypylus predicts the Achaeans will perish as their princes lie wounded and the Trojans strengthen, then begs Patroclus to take him to a ship, remove the arrow, wash away the black blood, and apply the healing herbs attributed to Achilles and Chiron.
“Wounded Eurypylus made answer, ‘Noble Patroclus, there is no hope left for the Achaeans but they will perish at their ships. All they that were princes among us are lying struck down and wounded at the hands of the Trojans, who are waxing stronger and stronger. But save me and take me to your ship; cut out the arrow from my thigh; wash the black blood from off it with warm water, and lay upon it those gracious herbs which, so they say, have been shown you by Achilles, who was himself shown them by Chiron, most righteous of all the centaurs”
Eurypylus is laid full-length, has the arrow removed and blood washed away, and receives an herb that stops pain and dries the wound.
“laid him at full length and cut out the sharp arrow from his thigh; he washed the black blood from the wound with warm water; he then crushed a bitter herb, rubbing it between his hands, and spread it upon the wound; this was a virtuous herb which killed all pain; so the wound presently dried and the blood left off flowing”
Eurypylus is hurt and receives Patroclus’s attention inside the tent.
“the hurt of Eurypylus within the tent”
Wounded Eurypylus receives Patroclus’s conversation and pain-easing herbs; Patroclus says he must leave and that a servant will take over his care.
“tent of good Eurypylus, entertaining him with his conversation and spreading herbs over his wound to ease his pain. When, however, he saw the Trojans swarming through the breach in the wall, while the Achaeans were clamouring and struck with panic, he cried aloud, and smote his two thighs with the flat of his hands. ‘Eurypylus,’ said he in his dismay, ‘I know you want me badly, but I cannot stay with you any longer, for there is hard fighting going on; a servant shall take care of you now”
Patroclus reports that Eurypylus has been struck by an arrow in the thigh.
“Eurypylus again has been struck with an arrow in the thigh”
