Statements
The feats of the bowmen have been greatly exaggerated, but there can be little doubt that a skilled archer was a formidable antagonist. The arrows, made with square heads, would pierce armour quite as well as a musket-ball. Possibly the account of Pandarus's prowess is not exaggerated; at any rate, there are well authenticated records of feats as surprising as that of the effect of his arrow upon Menelaus.
