And still Oenone worships the renown

Of Aiakus and his sons high-hearted, they

Who in stern battle sacked the Trojans’ town

First, when with Heracles they faced the fray,

Then, with the sons of Atreus:⁠—upward wing, O Muse, thy flight!

Tell who were they before whom Kyknus fell, and Hector died.

Who smote the dauntless chief who led the Aethiop hosts to fight,

Memnon the brazen-mailed? And who, Kaïkus’ stream beside,

Met valiant Telephus, and with resistless spear did smite?
