    IliadClassical · Greek

    Ajax's great sevenfold shield of oxhide and bronze, crafted by Tychios, which withstands Hektor's spear in the duel.

    It struck the sevenfold shield in its outermost layer - the eighth, which was of bronze - and went through six of the layers but in the seventh hide it stayed.
    chapter 7
    Ajax came up bearing his shield in front of him like a wall - a shield of bronze with seven folds of oxhide - the work of Tychios, who lived in Hyle and was by far the best worker in leather.
    chapter 7
