Assaracus

one king, to whom the son of crooked-counselling Cronos hath vouchsafed the sceptre and judgments, that he may take counsel for his people. Thus masterfully did he range through the host, and they hasted back to the place of gathering from their ships and huts with noise, as when a wave of the loud-resounding sea

and the mother fluttered around them, wailing for her dear little ones; howbeit he coiled himself and caught her by the wing as she screamed about him. But when he had devoured the sparrow's little ones and the mother with them, the god, who had brought him to the light, made him to be unseen; for the son of crooked-counselling Cronos turned him to stone;

Even in such wise as the son of crooked-counselling Cronos sendeth a star to be a portent for seamen or for a wide host of warriors, a gleaming star, and therefrom the sparks fly thick; even so darted Pallas Athene to earth, and down she leapt into the midst; and amazement came upon all that beheld,

Out upon it, verily strong though he be he hath spoken overweeningly, if in sooth by force and in mine own despite he will restrain me that am of like honour with himself. For three brethren are we, begotten of Cronos, and born of Rhea,—Zeus, and myself, and the third is Hades, that is lord of the dead below. And in three-fold wise are all things divided, and unto each hath been apportioned his own domain.

at the first Zeus, the cloud-gatherer, begat DardanusDaDa, and he founded Dardania, for not yet was sacred Ilios builded in the plain to be a city of mortal men, but they still dwelt upon the slopes of many-fountained Ida. And DardanusDaDa in turn begat a son, king ErichthoniusErEr,

And IlusIlIl again begat a son, peerless Laomedon, and Laomedon begat TithonusTiTi and Priam and ClytiusClCl, and HicetaonHiHi, scion of Ares. And AssaracusAsAs begat CapysCaCa, and he Anchises; but Anchises begat me and Priam goodly Hector.

There on this day did the Trojans and their allies separate their companies. The Trojans were led by great Hector of the flashing helm, the son of Priam, and with him were marshalled the greatest hosts by far and the goodliest, raging with the spear. Of the Dardanians again the valiant son of Anchises was captain,even Aeneas, whom fair Aphrodite conceived to Anchises amid the spurs of Ida, a goddess couched with a mortal man. Not alone was he; with him were Antenor's two sons, ArchelochusArAr and AcamasAcAc, well skilled in all manner of fighting. And they that dwelt in Zeleia beneath the nethermost foot of Ida,

if again Zeus shall vouchsafe glory to Tydeus' son Diomedes. Come, therefore, take thou now the lash and the shining reins, and I will dismount to fight; or else do thou await his onset, and I will look to the horses. Then made answer to him the glorious son of LycaonLyLy:

upon the earth; and dark night enfolded his eyes. And now would the king of men, Aeneas, have perished, had not the daughter of Zeus, Aphrodite, been quick to mark, even his mother, that conceived him to Anchises as he tended his kine. About her dear son she flung her white arms,

to enwrap some one of the Trojans in the darkness of night, or himself to fall in warding off ruin from the Achaeans. Then the dear son of Aesyetes, fostered of Zeus, the warrior AlcathousAlAl—son by marriage was he to Anchises, and had married the eldest of his daughters, Hippodameia,

to enwrap some one of the Trojans in the darkness of night, or himself to fall in warding off ruin from the Achaeans. Then the dear son of Aesyetes, fostered of Zeus, the warrior AlcathousAlAl—son by marriage was he to Anchises, and had married the eldest of his daughters, Hippodameia,whom her father and queenly mother heartily loved in their hall, for that she excelled all maidens of her years in comeliness, and in handiwork, and in wisdom; wherefore the best man in wide Troy had taken her to wife—this AlcathousAlAl did Poseidon subdue beneath IdomeneusIdId,

And IlusIlIl again begat a son, peerless Laomedon, and Laomedon begat TithonusTiTi and Priam and ClytiusClCl, and HicetaonHiHi, scion of Ares. And AssaracusAsAs begat CapysCaCa, and he Anchises; but Anchises begat me and Priam goodly Hector.
