on of Lycaon, commanded, to whom even Apollo himself gave his
bow.
[Footnote 142: Cf. iv. 119. "The inhabitants of Zeleia worshipped
Apollo, and Zeleia was also called Lycia; facts which show that
there was a real connection between the name of Lycia and the
worship of Apollo, and that it was the worship of Apollo which
gave the name to this district of Troy, as it had done to the
country of the Solymi."--Mueller, Dor. vol. i. p. 248.]
Those who possessed Adrestae, and the city of Apaesus, and possessed
Pityea, and the lofty mountain Tercia; these Adrastus and linen-mailed
Amphius commanded, the two sons of Percosian Merops, who was skilled in
prophecy above all others; nor was he willing to suffer his sons to go
into the man-destroying fight. But they did not obey him, for the fates
of sable death impelled them.
Those who dwelt around Percote and Practius, and possessed Sestos and
Abydos, and divine Arisbe; these Asius, son of Hyrtacus, prince of

diffused the fairest over the earth.
But the sturdy heart of Pylaemenes from the Eneti, whence is the race of
wild mules, led the Paphlagonians, those who possessed Cytorus, and
dwelt around Sesamus, and inhabited the famous dwellings around the
river Parthenius, and Cromna, AEgialus, and the lofty Erythine hills.
But Hodius and Epistrophus, far from Alybe, whence is a rich product of
silver, commanded the Halizonians. Chromis and the augur Ennomus
commanded the Mysians, but he avoided not sable death through his skill
