Amycus

Orontes brave and fallen Amycus, or mourns with grief untold the untimely doom of bold young Gyas and Cloanthus bold.

Next Amycus, destroyer of wild beasts, who knew full well to smear a crafty barb with venomed oil;

and Mimas, Paris' comrade, just his age,— born of Theano's womb to Amycus his sire, that night when royal Hecuba, teeming with firebrand, gave Paris birth:

Amycus, the king of the Bebryces, first found the thongs for boxing.

As to the devices introduced by Antaeus or Cercyon in the art of wrestling for the sake of empty glory, or in boxing by Epeius or Amycus, since they are useless in the business of war, they merit no eulogy.
