Sons of the Trojan Elder Antimachus killed on the morning of the fourth day of the Iliad during the attack of Agamemnon .
Moving with battle from the Achaean ships to the walls of the city, Agamemnon defeated several noble warriors, and among them attacked the sons of Antimachus, who ruled the chariot together.
