Book 11.608-617
The two sides near, then Tyrrhenus and Aconteus charge each other. They clash and are the first to fall.
Iamque intra iactum teli progressus uterque
608
substiterat: subito erumpunt clamore furentisque
609
exhortantur equos; fundunt simul undique tela
610
crebra nivis ritu caelumque obtexitur umbra.
611
Continuo adversis Tyrrhenus et acer Aconteus
612
conixi incurrunt hastis primique ruina
613
dant sonitum ingenti perfractaque quadrupedantum
614
pectora pectoribus rumpunt: excussus Aconteus
615
fulminis in morem aut tormento ponderis acti
616
praecipitat longe et vitam dispergit in auras.
