the high kings embassy

the Trojans pushed the Greeks almost back to the black ships. Athene was determined to stop the battle that day. she told hector that he should end the day with a single combat challenge. so the Greeks sent out their champion of their own choice. Menelaus stepped up to the challenge. but his brother would not allow it. so Ajax took his spot after a drawing out of the helmet. nobody won so there army's stepped in and took their guys back. in the battle. both soldiers lost their swords so the battle was ceased.
