Iliad 6: 20-28

From the Venetus A MS

Δρῆσον δ' Εὐρύαλος καὶ Ὀφέλτιον ἐξενάριξε.

βῆ δὲ μετ' Αἴσηπον καὶ Πήδασον, οὕς ποτε νύμφη

νηῒς. Ἀβαρβαρέη τέκ' ἀμύμονι Βουκολίωνι:

Βουκολίων δ' ἦν υἱὸς ἀγαυοῦ Λαομέδοντος

πρεσβύτατος γενεῇ. σκότιον δέ ἑ γείνατο μήτηρ

ποιμαίνων δ': ἐπ' ὄεσσι μίγη φιλότητι καὶ εὐνῇ:

ἡ δ`' ὑποκοσαμένη διδυμάονε γείνατο παῖδε:

καὶ μὲν τῶν ὑπέλυσε μένος καὶ φαίδιμα γυῖα

Μηκιστηϊάδης καὶ ἀπ' ὤμων τεύχε' ἐσύλα:

Then Euryalus slew Dresus and Opheltius, and went on after Aesepus and Pedasus, whom on a time the fountain-nymph Abarbarea bare to peerless Bucolion. Now Bucolion was son of lordly Laomedon, his eldest born, though the mother that bare him was unwed; he while shepherding his flocks lay with the nymph in love, and she conceived and bare twin sons. Of these did the son of Mecisteus loose the might and the glorious limbs and strip the armour from their shoulders.
