Passage 10.27.3: Depictions of Trojan-war figures and Antenor’s house.

Mythic Skeptical

Greek Text

Λαομέδοντος δὲ τὸν νεκρὸν Σίνων τε ἑταῖρος Ὀδυσσέως καὶ Ἀγχίαλός εἰσιν ἐκκομίζοντες. γέγραπται δὲ καὶ ἄλλος τεθνεώς· ὄνομά οἱ Ἔρεσος· τὰ δὲ ἐς Ἔρεσόν τε καὶ Λαομέδοντα, ὅσα γε ἡμεῖς ἐπιστάμεθα, ᾖσεν οὐδείς. ἔστι δὲ οἰκία τε ἡ Ἀντήνορος καὶ παρδάλεως κρεμάμενον δέρμα ὑπὲρ τῆς ἐσόδου, σύνθημα εἶναι τοῖς Ἕλλησιν ἀπέχεσθαι σφᾶς οἴκου τοῦ Ἀντήνορος. γέγραπται δὲ Θεανώ τε καὶ οἱ παῖδες, Γλαῦκος μὲν καθήμενος ἐπὶ θώρακι γυάλοις συνηρμοσμένῳ, Εὐρύμαχος δὲ ἐπὶ πέτρᾳ.

English Translation

Sinon, the companion of Odysseus, and Anchialos are depicted carrying out the body of Laomedon. Another dead person is also represented, whose name is Eresos. Yet concerning both Eresos and Laomedon, as far as we know, no one has sung anything. There is also depicted the house of Antenor, with a leopard's skin hanging above the door, a sign to the Greeks to spare the house of Antenor. Portrayed too are Theano and her sons—Glaucus sitting upon armor fitted closely with metal plates, and Eurymachus seated upon a rock.
