The leonine Ajax, though equally loth to retire, did so because he feared the Trojans would work round on the flank and bum the fleet. In fact, since he had already done considerable execution, he may rather be compared to an ass chased from a barley-field by small boys:

All unwillingly our ass

Up the pathway goes,

What most irks him is to pass

Land where barley grows.

We have splintered many a stick

On his tough old hide,

Oh, that ass knows every trick:

Soon he may decide

To break loose and eat his fill

By superior strength;

We are only boys but still,

When we flog him with a will

Out he trots at length.
