Dolon's cowardice is a foil for the bravery of Odysseus and Diomedes.

When Dolon is caught and is asked if Hector sent him to spy (diaskopiasthai 10.388), he reveals much important information about the Trojans and their camp, and he openly says that Hector ordered him to "spy out" the security of the Greek ships (ek te puthesthai 10.395-399).

 Didaskalia - Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Dolon, the wily Trojan sent by Hector to spy of the Greeks, is also killed (so we learn) as he falls prey to the far wilier Odysseus and Diomedes, who are also responsible for the deaths of Rhesus and his men.
There is after all a war going on, and we can reasonably expect combatants like Dolon, Rhesus, and the charioteer to get killed, just as we can expect Rhesus’ divine mother, an unnamed Muse, to grieve over the body of her all too mortal son in the play’s final moments.
Walsh’s Hector was stolid, exuding an aura of weary authority and quiet determination even when his voice boomed; his understatement stood in contrast to the oily confidence of Dolon, the flamboyance of Rhesus, the histrionic agony of the charioteer, and the spunkiness of shepherd.

 Rhesus 2, Greek Mythology Link.
It was then that Dolon 1 volunteered to help, and consented to risk his life, as he put it, for the sake of his country.
When his pursuers gripped his arms, Dolon 1 burst into tears, begging to be taken alive, and promising to ransom himself with the bronze and gold that his father would gladly pay, on learning that his son had been made a prisoner.
And then he let a rain of questions fall on Dolon 1: on his reason to leave his camp, on the whereabouts of his commander in chief, on the position of the Trojan sentries, on the Trojan plans, and on the places where everybody was sleeping.
