Then Teucer first, the son of Telamon, Smote gallant Imbrius, son of Mentor, lord Of many steeds. He, ere the Greeks had come To Troy, dwelt at Pedaeum and espoused Medesicasta, Priam’s spurious child. But when the well-oared galleys of the Greeks Mustered at Troy, he also came, and there Was eminent among her chiefs, and dwelt With Priam, and was honored as his son. The son of Telamon beneath the ear Pierced him with his long javelin, and drew forth The weapon. Headlong to the earth he fell. As on a mountain height, descried from far, Hewn by a brazen axe, an ash is felled And lays its tender sprays upon the ground, Thus Imbrius fell, and round him in his fall Clashed his bright armor. Teucer sprang in haste To spoil the dead, but Hector hurled at him His shining spear; the wary Teucer stepped Aside, and just escaped the brazen blade. It struck Amphiniachus, Cteatus’ son, And Actor’s grandson; as he came to join The battle, he was smitten in the breast, And fell, his armor clashing round his limbs.
