“Orthryoneus, I deem thee worthy of praise Beyond all other men, if thou perform What thou hast undertaken⁠—to defend Dardanian Priam, who has promised thee His daughter. We would make a compact too, And will perform it⁠—to bestow on thee A spouse, the fairest daughter of the house Of Atreus’ son, and we will send for her To Argos, if thou join us, and lay waste The well built Ilium. Now, then, follow me, And at the ships which brought us we will treat Of marriage, and will make no niggard terms.”
