The heralds put and end to the combat between Hector and Ajax | il151flax: "And now had they been smiting with their swords in close fight, but that the heralds, messengers of Zeus and men, came, one from the Trojans and one from the brazen-coated Achaeans, even Talthybius and Idaeus, men of prudence both. Between the two they held forth their staves, and the herald Idaeus, skilled in prudent counsel, spake, saying: 'Fight no more, dear sons, neither do battle; both of you are loved of Zeus, the cloud-gatherer, and both are spearmen; that verily know we all. Moreover night is now upon us, and it is well to yield obedience to night's behest.” (Hom.Il.7.275). John Flaxman (1755 – 1826).
