Book 16 of the Iliad tells us that Achilles had a third horse, Pedasos ( maybe " Jumper ", maybe " Captive "), which was yoked as a " trace horse ", along with Xanthus and Balios.

At Iliad 17. 590, Automedon, Achilles ' charioteer, states that only Patroclus was able to fully control these horses.
