Thrasymedes

With this he passed the trench, and with him the other chiefs of the Achaeans who had been called to the council.

Brave Thrasymedes provided the son of Tydeus with a sword and a shield (for he had left his own at his ship) and on his head he set a helmet of bull's hide without either peak or crest;

As he spoke he took up the shield of his son Thrasymedes that was lying in his tent, all gleaming with bronze, for Thrasymedes had taken his father's shield;

Nestor's son Peisistratos at once offered his hand to each of them, and seated them on some soft sheepskins that were lying on the sands near his father and his brother Thrasymedes.

When they had done praying and sprinkling the barley meal Thrasymedes dealt his blow, and brought the heifer down with a stroke that cut through the tendons at the base of her neck, whereon the daughters and daughters-in-law of Nestor, and his venerable wife Eurydice (she was eldest daughter to Klymenos) screamed with delight.

But Suetonius too says that Nero, and Theopompus that Thrasymedes, never dreamed, save that Nero scarcely did, at his last end, after his terrors.

For if Aristotle too notes a certain hero of Sardinia who deprives the sleepers in his fane of their visions, this too will be among the wantonness of demons, as much to take away dreams as to bring them in, so that the mark of Nero too, a late dreamer, and of Thrasymedes proceeded thence.
