ῆ ρα καὶ ὡρμήθη ὄρεϊ νιφόεντι ἐοικὼς.
κεκληγὼν, δια δὲ Τρώων πέτετ' ἠδ' ἐπικούρων:
οἱ δ' ἐς Πανθοίδην ἀγαπήνορα Πουλυδάμαντα
πάντες ἐπεσσεύοντ' ἐπεὶ Ἕκτορος ἔκλυον αὐδήν:
αὐτὰρ ὃ Δηΐφοβόν τε. βίην θ' Ἑλένοιο ἄνακτος.
Ἀσιάδην τ' Ἀδάμαντα. καὶ Ἄσιον Ὑρτάκου υἱὸν
φοίτα ἀνὰ προμάχους διζήμενος. εἴ που ἐφεύροι:
τοὺς δ' εὗρ', οὐκέτι πάμπαν ἀπήμονας οὐδ' ἀνολέθρους:
ἂλλ' οἱ μεν δὴ νηυσὶν ἐπι πρύμνῃσιν Ἀχαιῶν,
χερσὶν ὑπ' Ἀργείων κέατο ψυχὰς ὀλέσαντες.
οἱ δ' ἐν τείχει έσαν βεβλημένοι οὐτάμενοί τε
τὸν δὲ τάχ' εὗρε μάχης ἐπ' ἀριστερὰ δακρυοέσσης
δῖον Ἀλέξανδρον Ἑλένης πόσιν ἠϋκόμοιο:
θαρσύνονθ' ἑτάρους καὶ ἐποτρύνοντα μάχεσθαι:
ἀγχοῦ δ'ἱ̈στάμενος προσέφη αἰσχροῖς ἐπέεσσι:
Δύσπαρι εἶδος ἄριστε γυναιμανὲς ἠπεροπευτά:
ποῦ τοι Δηΐφοβός τε βίη θ' Ἑλένοιο ἄνακτος:
Ἀσιάδης τ' Ἀδάμας ἠδ' Ἄσιος Ὑρτάκου υἱός,
ποῦ δέ τοι Ὀθρυονεύς: νῦν ὤλετο πᾶσα κατ' ἄκρης
Ἴ̈λιος αἰπεινὴ.. νῦν τοι σῶς αἰπὺς ὄλεθρος:
So spake he, and set forth, in semblance like a snowy mountain, and with loud shouting sped he through the Trojans and allies. And they hasted one and all toward the kindly Polydamas, son of Panthous when they heard the voice of Hector. But he ranged through the foremost fighters, in quest of Deïphobus, and the valiant prince Helenus, and Adamas, son of Asius, and Asius, son of Hyrtacus, if haply he might find them. But he found them no more in any wise unscathed or free from bane, but some were lying at the sterns of the ships of the Achaeans, slain by the hands of the Argives, and some were within the wall, smitten by darts or wounded with spear-thrusts. But one he presently found on the left of the tearful battle, even goodly Alexander, the lord of fair-tressed Helen, heartening his comrades and urging them on to fight; and he drew near and spake to him with words of shame: "Evil Paris, most fair to look upon, thou that art mad after women, thou beguiler, where, I pray thee, is Deïphobus, and the valiant prince Helenus, and Adamas, son of Asius, and Asius, son of Hyrtacus? Aye, and where, tell me, is Othryoneus? Now is steep Ilios wholly plunged into ruin; now, thou mayest see, is utter destruction sure."
