When he heard that Agelaus had given him to be a prize in the games, he waxed exceeding wrath.
"I am Paris, the foster-son of Agelaus the herdsman," he answered.
With these words he picked up the sword that Agelaus had dropped when he was being killed, and which was lying upon the ground.
Now one who was called Agelaus stood forward, and directed the wooers to cast spears at Odysseus.
On the sixth day Agelaus passed that way once more, looking to find the child dead, if any trace of him remained.
This speech of Agelaus greatly influenced the allies in favour of peace; and Philip more than any one: The peace is ratified.
Agelaus now took the lead, and at his command six of them advanced and hurled their spears.
