Hector –
whipping the fight and fire in each man like a huntsman
crying on his hounds, their white fangs flashing,
harrying savage game, some wild boar or lion –
so at Achaea’s ranks he drove his fearless Trojans.
– Homer
The Iliad, Book 11, lines 338-342. Hector rallies the Trojan soldiers in a drive against the Achaean ranks. An epic simile compares him to a huntsman urging on the hounds in pursuit of savage game. He goes on to kill nearly a dozen Greek captains and the Achaean line begins to flee.
