Then from Buprasium and the sacred coast Of Elis, from Hyrmine and remote Myrsinus and the Olenian precipice, And from Alisium came, with chieftains four, The warriors, ten swift galleys following Each chieftain, crowded with Epean troops. And part obeyed Amphimacus, the son Of Cteatus, and part with Thalpius came, The son of Eurytus Actorides, And part with brave Diores, of the line Of Amarynceus. Last, Polyxenus, The godlike offspring of Agasthenes, Whose father was Augeias, led the rest.

They from Dulichium and the Echinades, Those holy isles descried from Elis o’er The waters, had for leader Megas, brave As Mars⁠—the son of Phyleus, dearly loved By Jove. He left his father’s house in wrath And dwelt within Dulichium. With the troops Of Megas came a fleet of forty ships.
