This study offers a thorough re-examination of the claim that the Doloneia is a major interpolation in the Iliad , since the horses of Rhesus stolen by the two Achaean spies in Iliad 10 are not used by Diomedes to win the chariot race in the Funeral Games in honor of Patroclus in Iliad 23. It is argued that this claim is wrong. Diomedes wins with the semi-divine Trojan horses he has stolen from Aeneas in Iliad 5, i. e. with the best horses after Achilles’ divine horses which are not used in the chariot race. Aeneas’ horses are the only ones that can defeat Eumelus’ excellent mares, which have been called the second-best Achaean horses in Il . 2.763–764
