Iphition

But Achilles leaped among the Trojans, clad with courage as to his soul, shouting dreadfully; and first slew gallant Iphition, son of Otrynteus, the leader of many people, whom the nymph Naïs bore to Otrynteus, the sacker of cities, under snowy Tmolus, in the rich district of Hyda.

First, he slew The valiant Chief Iphition, whom a band Numerous obey'd.

Meantime the shades of death Cover'd Iphition, and Achaian wheels And horses ground his body in the van.

Iphition next he slew:   He quelled Hippomedon, Hippasus' bold son,   Whom Ocyone the Nymph had borne beside   Sangarius' river-flow.

Thus he, exulting: o'er Iphition's eyes Were spread the shades of death; his mangled corpse Was crush'd beneath the Grecian chariot wheels, In the first shock.
