“Of Perseus’ company, Melaneus was killed, and Dorylas, millionaire of Nasamonia, no one as rich as he in land or spices, heaped up in mountains over his estates. Thrust from one side, a spear pierced through his groin—a deadly spot. When Halcyoneus, who threw the spear, heard Dorylas sigh and saw his eyes roll up, he said, ‘Here where you lie are all the lands you own.’” – Ovid: The Metamorphoses, trans. Horace Gregory
