In exchange, Hector offered the horses and bronze chariot of Achilles as his prize at the end of the war.

Dolon departed, wearing a wolf skin and a marten-pelt cap in order to blend into his surroundings.

Dolon, after torture, begged for his life, telling the two warriors that he was worth a valuable ransom as his father, Eumedes, was very wealthy.

After this, Odysseus went back on his promise and Dolon was decapitated by Diomedes before the two went into the Trojan camp to wreak havoc, slaying Rhesus, king of Thrace, and stealing his valuable horses.

[2] His son Eumedes, named after Dolon's father, survived the Trojan War to later fight and die by the hand of Turnus under the command of Aeneas in Italy.
