He was a brave warrior, and at the funeral games of Oedipus he conquered all his competitors (Hom. Il. xxiii. 608) with the exception of Epeius, who excelled him in wrestling. He accompanied Diomedes to Troy, where he was one of the bravest heroes in the Trojan War, and slew several Trojans. (Il. ii. 565, vi. 20; Pausanias ii. 30. § 9.) He was one of the Greeks to enter the Trojan Horse. In the painting of Polygnotus at Delphi, he was represented as being wounded; and there was also a statue of him at Delphi, which stood between those of Diomedes and Aegialeus.
