faced down
OK. Based on the clarification, you could say "he will be faced down", or something similar.

Looking at this again, I think I gave the wrong answer. It would be better to say that somebody "pulled a face" at him.

Note from asker:
| Thanks a lot! :) |
| Thanks again, Philip. I got the idea and, anyway, the explanation will appear on a footnote; I do not translate them but rather keep them on the text as the Author did on the English original. |
| P.S. By "them" I mean, of course, all the Greek terms the Author uses; to add some local colour, I guess ;) |
