Narrative

After the Achaean ship-catalogue, the poet turns to the Trojans and their allies: Hector leads the Trojans; Aeneas and the two sons of Antenor the Dardanians; then follow contingents of Zeleia (Pandarus), Adrasteia, Percote and environs, Pelasgian Larisa, Thracians (Acamas and Peirous), Ciconians, Paeonians (Pyraechmes), Paphlagonians (Pylaemenes), Halizones, Mysians, Phrygians, Maeonians, Carians (Nastes), and Lycians (Sarpedon and Glaucus). The list sketches Troy’s Anatolian and northern coalition—counterpart to the Greek ship-list. Keep it distinct from the Achaean catalogue and from later aristeiai of named allies (Sarpedon, Glaucus, Pandarus).
