赫拉克利亚之役

at the battle of heraclea; king pyrrhus killed several of the best roman warriors in single combat. realising that if he were recognised he would be in danger from other roman soldiers, he changed armour with one of his men. this change of armour probably saved pyrrhus' life, but it nearly lost him the battle. the man wearing the armour was killed, and the romans showed pyrrhus' distinctive helmet all around the battlefield. on seeing it, the romans shouted for joy, and pyrrhus' men groaned with terror and discouragement. finally, pyrrhus had to bare his head and ride among them, shouting that he was still alive.

pyrrhus' elephants were so frightening to the roman horses that their cavalry retreated in disorder. when pyrrhus saw this, he commanded his cavalry to charge, and that won him the battle.

皮拉斯军中的大象，令罗马军的马匹非常惊恐，罗马骑兵纷纷溃退。皮拉斯见了，就下令麾下骑兵进攻，终于赢了这场战争。
