Verse
Iliad
Book 11, Line 328 by Samuel Butler (English)
They then took two princes with their chariot, the two sons of Merops of Perkote, who excelled in the arts of divination all others from the district [ dêmos ]. He had forbidden his sons to go to the war, but they would not obey him, for fate lured them to their fall. Diomedes son of Tydeus deprived them both of their life-breath [ psukhê ] and stripped them of their armor, while Odysseus killed Hippodamos and Hypeirochos.
