LYCAON (TROILUS)

There he found Lycaon, son of Priam seed of Dardanus, as he was

escaping out of the water; he it was whom he had once taken prisoner

when he was in his father's vineyard, having set upon him by night, as

he was cutting young shoots from a wild fig-tree to make the wicker

sides of a chariot. Achilles then caught him to his sorrow unawares,

and sent him by sea to Lemnos, where the son of Jason bought him.

But a guest-friend, Eetion of Imbros, freed him with a great sum,

and sent him to Arisbe, whence he had escaped and returned to his

father's house. He had spent eleven days happily with his friends

after he had come from Lemnos, but on the twelfth heaven again

delivered him into the hands of Achilles, who was to send him to the

house of Hades sorely against his will. He was unarmed when Achilles

caught sight of him, and had neither helmet nor shield; nor yet had he

any spear, for he had thrown all his armour from him on to the bank,

and was sweating with his struggles to get out of the river, so that his strength was now failing him.
