Crossword-Solution: DOLON 5 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 6

Now among the Trojans there was a young man named Dolon, the son of a rich father, and he was the only boy in a family of five sisters.

Dolon arose and said, "If you will swear to give me the horses and chariot of Achilles, son of Peleus, I will steal to the hut of Agamemnon and listen and find out whether the Greeks mean to fight or flee." Hector swore to give these horses, which were the best in the world, to Dolon, so he took his bow and threw a grey wolf's hide over his shoulders, and ran towards the ships of the Greeks.

Now Ulysses saw Dolon as he came, and said to Diomede, "Let us suffer him to pass us, and then do you keep driving him with your spear towards the ships, and away from Troy." So Ulysses and Diomede lay down among the dead men who had fallen in the battle, and Dolon ran on past them towards the Greeks.

Then they rose and chased him as two greyhounds course a hare, and, when Dolon was near the sentinels, Diomede cried "Stand, or I will slay you with my spear!" and he threw his spear just over Dolon's shoulder.

Ulysses said, "Take heart, and put death out of your mind, and tell us what you are doing here." Dolon said that Hector had promised him the horses of Achilles if he would go and spy on the Greeks.
