And then by Meges was Pedseus slain, Antenor’s base-born son, whose noble wife, Theano, reared him with as fond a care As her own children, for her husband’s sake. And now the mighty spearman, Phyleus’ son, Drew near and smote him with his trenchant lance Where meet the head and spine, and pierced the neck Beneath the tongue; and forth the weapon came Between the teeth. He fell, and in the fall Gnashed with his teeth upon the cold bright blade.

Then did Evaemon’s son Eurypylus Strike down Hypsenor, nobly born, the son Of great Dolopion, Scamander’s priest, Whom all the people honored as a god. Evaemon’s gallant son, o’ertaking him In flight; with one stroke of his falchion hewed His brawny arm away. The bloody limb Dropped to the ground, and the dark night of death Came o’er his eyes: so cruel fate decreed.
