The Greek warriors see Dolon coming and hide themselves in the bodies of the dead so that Dolon can ' t see them . Diomedes chases Dolon down with help from Athena and Dolon begs for his life , telling the two warriors that he is worth a valuable ransom because his father , Eumedes , is very wealthy . Odysseus says he won ' t kill Dolon if he tells the two of them why he was spying on the Greeks . Dolon tells Odysseus everything he wants to know , including his potential prize , before Odysseus explains to him that he has been tricked by Hector : only Achilles can control the horses that he was to receive . Dolon then tells the two Greeks which Trojan allies are living in which tent and what their strengths are . After he tells the two all the information that they wanted he is decapitated by Diomedes before the two head off into the Trojan camp to wreak havoc , slaying Rhesus , king of Thrace , and stealing his valuable horses .
