[6] Beside Meges is also painted Lykomedes the son of Creon, who has a wound in the wrist; Lescheos says he was so wounded by Agenor. So it is plain that Polygnotus would not have represented them so wounded, if he had not read the poem of Lescheos. However, he has painted Lykomedes as wounded also in the ankle and yet again in the head. Euryalus the son of Mecisteus has also received a wound in the head and another in the wrist.
