[6] In his hands he (Herakles) took his shield, all glittering : no one ever broke it with a blow or crushed it.
In the centre was Phobos (Fear) worked in adamant, unspeakable, staring backwards with eyes that glowed with fire.
His mouth was full of teeth in a white row, fearful and daunting, and upon his grim brow hovered frightful Eris (Battle-Strife) who arrays the throng of men: pitiless she, for she took away the mind and senses of poor wretches who made war against the son of Zeus .
Upon the shield Proioxis (Pursuit) and Palioxis (Flight) were wrought, and Homados (Tumult), and Phobos (Panic), and Androktasia (Slaughter).
Eris (Battle-Strife) also, and Kydoimos (Confusion) were hurrying about, and deadly Ker (Fate) was there holding one man newly wounded.
