Iliad 2: 511-516

From the Venetus A MS

οἱ δ' Ἀσπληδόνα ναῖον ἰ̈δ`' Ὀρχομενὸν Μινύειον.

τῶν ἦρχ' Ἀσκάλαφος καὶ Ἰ̈άλμενος υἷες Ἄρηος:

οὓς τέκεν Ἀστυόχη δόμῳ Ἄκτορος Ἀζεΐδαο:

παρθένος αἰδοίη ὑπερώϊον εἰς, ἀναβᾶσα

Ἄρηϊ κρατερῷ: ὁ δέ οἱ παρελέξατο λάθρῃ:

τῶντοῖς δὲ τριήκοντα γλαφυραὶ νέες ἐστιχόωντο:

And they that dwelt in Aspledon and Orchomenus of the Minyae were led by Ascalaphus and Ialmenus, sons of Ares, whom, in the palace of Actor, son of Azeus, Astyoche, the honoured maiden, conceived of mighty Ares, when she had entered into her upper chamber; for he lay with her in secret. And with these were ranged thirty hollow ships.
