“and with speed they came to the place where were the Scaean gates. And they that were about Priamand PanthousPaPa and Thymoetes and LampusLaLa and ClytiusClCl and HicetaonHiHi, scion of Ares
, and UcalegonUcUc and Antenor
, men of prudence both, sat as elders of the people at the Scaean gates.”
“But Hectorcalled to his kinsmen, one and all, and first did he chide HicetaonHiHi's son, strong MelanippusMeMe. He until this time had been wont to feed his kine of shambling gait in Percote, while the foemen were yet afar, but when the curved ships of the Danaans came,”
“from the warrior as he cast. Not in vain did he let fly his spear, but smote HicetaonHiHi's son, MelanippusMeMe, high of heart, as he was coming to the battle, upon the breast beside the nipple; and he fell with a thud, and darkness enfolded his eyes. And AntilochusAnAn sprang upon him, as a hound that darteth upon a wounded fawn,”

one king, to whom the son of crooked-counselling Cronoshath 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 Cronosturned him to stone;
Even in such wise as the son of crooked-counselling Cronossendeth 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,
