Brave talk –
he drew his two-edged sword, bronze, honed for the kill
and hurled himself at the king with a raw savage cry
in the same breath that Odysseus loosed an arrow
ripping his breast beside the nipple so hard
it lodged in the man’s liver.
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 22, lines 82-87. The manipulative and two-faced Eurymachus, one of the two leading suitors along with Antinous, proves no match for Odysseus. When he attacks Odysseus with his sword, Odysseus strikes him in the liver with an arrow from his bow.
