Ajax the swift of foot, Oileus’ son, Was leader of the Locrians⁠—less in limb And stature than the other Ajax⁠—nay, Much smaller than that son of Telamon, Wearing a linen corselet; but to wield The spear he far excelled all other men Of Hellas and Achaia. Those who dwelt In Cynus, Opus, Bessa, and the fields Of Scarpha and Calliarus and green Augeia, Tarpha, and the meadows where Boagrius waters Thronium, followed him With forty dark-hulled Locrian barques, that came From coasts beyond Eubrea’s sacred isle.
