Leucus

Antiphus hurled at him— the son of Priam wearing a gleaming breastplate let fly through the lines but his sharp spear missed and he hit Leucus instead, Odysseus’ loyal comrade, gouging his groin as the man hauled off a corpse— it dropped from his hands and Leucus sprawled across it.

Iliad, 4.491-493 translated by Robert Fagles
