Saying this, Athena grabbed Sthenelus' hand
and hauled him from the chariot to the ground.  
He jumped up at once. The goddess climbed up eagerly
beside lord Diomedes in the chariot.
The oaken axle groaned aloud, weighed down, 
bearing the fearful goddess and the finest man.
Pallas Athena took up the reins and whip.    
First, she led the sure-footed horses straight at Ares.
He was removing armour from huge Periphas,
Ochesius' fine son, by far the best of the Aetolians.
Blood-stained Ares was stripping him of all his weapons.
Then Athena put Hades' helmet on her head, 
so she would be invisible to mighty Ares.  
But man-killing Ares did see Diomedes.  
He let the body of huge Periphas lie there,  
where he'd first killed him and ripped out his spirit.
He strode directly to horse-taming Diomedes.
