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?
