Actor (son of Deion)

but to thee did MenoetiusMeMe, son of ActorAcAc, thus give command: ‘My child, in birth is Achilles nobler than thou, but thou art the elder though in might he is the better far. Yet do thou speak to him well a word of wisdom and give him counsel, and direct him; and he will obey thee to his profit.’

and made them sit on couches and rugs of purple; and forthwith he spake to Patroclus, that was near: Set forth a larger bowl, thou son of MenoetiusMeMe; mingle stronger drink, and prepare each man a cup, for these be men most dear, that are beneath my roof. So he spake, and Patroclus gave ear to his dear comrade. He cast down a great fleshing-block in the light of the fire and laid thereon a sheep's back and a fat goat's, and the chine of a great hog withal, rich with fat. And AutomedonAuAu held them for him, while goodly Achilles carved.

Then the valiant son of MenoetiusMeMe spake the first: Wherefore dost thou call me, Achilles? What need hast thou of me? And in answer to him spake Achilles, swift of foot: Goodly son of MenoetiusMeMe, dear to this heart of mine, now methinks will the Achaeans be standing about my knees in prayer,

Then made answer the horseman Nestor of Gerenia: Wherefore now doth Achilles thus have pity for the sons of the Achaeans, as many as have been smitten with missiles? Nor knoweth he at all what grief hath arisen throughout the camp; for the best men lie among the ships smitten by darts or wounded with spear-thrusts.
