Literal Translation. 79
which her father desired, she began to prophecy what would
happen there in future, and she said: „Much evil will there be
from that news! The heroes and warriors, kings and prince,
chieftains and nobles of Asia will fall in consequence of that
resolve."
435. Then came the time for going to sea, and the buil-
ding of the vessels ended. Soldiers and hosts came from
Poeonia in the company of Alexander and Deiphobus. Hector
son of Priam came with hosts and multitudes out of northern
Phrygia. Then came the time of scanning the sea. And Priam
entreated Alexander to rule 1 shrewdly the host that was sent
along with him. Moreover other leaders were sent in his
company, namely, Deiphobus and Aeneas and Polydamas. Then
Priam announced to Alexander that he should fare forth on
an embassy to make peace and good-will between Greeks and
Trojans.
445. So when all these things came to an end, Alexander
went with his fleet along the Tyrrhene sea, and Antenor before
them, giving them guidance. 2 Now it was not long before that
time when Alexander fared to the country of the Greeks, and
before proceeding to the neighbourhood of Cythera, that Mene-
laus son of Atreus, a chief leader of the Greeks, was going to
the island of Pylos, to converse with Nestor, and met Alexan-
der son of Priam face to face. Great marvel had Menelaus to
see the royal host a- rowing. Strange to him was the abundance
of the vessels and the great number of the fleet. He
was sure that they were accompanying a king's son or a crown-
prince. So he did not venture to accost them: but each of
them went past the other.
450. That was the season and time at which Castor and
Pollux, with a host around them, came till they were biding
in the neighbourhood of Framia (?), and on that occasion they
took with them, to their own country, Laomedon's daughter
Hesione.
