Passage 2.22.2
πέραν δὲ τοῦ τάφου χαλκεῖόν ἐστιν οὐ μέγα, ἀνέχει δὲ αὐτὸ ἀγάλματα ἀρχαῖα Ἀρτέμιδος καὶ Διὸς καὶ Ἀθηνᾶς. Λυκέας μὲν οὖν ἐν τοῖς ἔπεσιν ἐποίησε Μηχανέως τὸ ἄγαλμα εἶναι Διός, καὶ Ἀργείων ἔφη τοὺς ἐπὶ Ἴλιον στρατεύσαντας ἐνταῦθα ὀμόσαι παραμενεῖν πολεμοῦντας, ἔστʼ ἂν ἢ τὸ Ἴλιον ἕλωσιν ἢ μαχομένους τελευτὴ σφᾶς ἐπιλάβῃ· ἑτέροις δέ ἐστιν εἰρημένον ὀστᾶ ἐν τῷ χαλκείῳ κεῖσθαι Ταντάλου.
Beyond the tomb there is a bronze structure, not large, which supports ancient images of Artemis, Zeus, and Athena. Lyceas, indeed, in his verses stated that the image of Zeus was the work of Mechanes, and said that at this place the Argives who marched against Ilium took an oath to persevere fighting until they either captured Ilium or death seized them in battle. Others have reported that the bones of Tantalus lie within this bronze structure.
