Helenus

There was a seer of noble birth, a son of Priam, called Helenus, whom that man, out on a solitary night raid—that deceitful Odysseus, whose repute is all shame and dishonor—captured.

Helenus then prophesied for them whatever matter they asked, and, pertaining to Troy, he foretold that they would never sack its towers, unless by winning words they should bring Philoctetes here from the island where he now dwells.

We have a Trojan prisoner, Helenus, foremost among seers, who says plainly that all this must come to pass, and further, that this very summer must see the complete capture of Troy.

And if we think those figures the inventions of fabling licence — Mopsus, Tiresias, Amphiaraus, Calchas, Helenus (whom, however, not even the fables would have made augurs if the thing were wholly to be rejected) — shall we not, taught by examples even from our own house, prove the divinity of the gods?

and Helenus, coming into the midst of Greece, reigned over the Molossians and the mainland near Thessaly.

And besides these, Helenus, complaining that he was being slighted in favor of Deiphobus, asked his father, and taking ships and an army sailed against Greece as against a ready prey and possessed all the land outside the truce.

And later those of the Achaeans driven out by the Dorians, at a loss whither to turn through weakness, came to Asia as to friends and allies, the descendants of Priam and Hector, and settled Lesbos by their leave through friendship, and other no small regions.

And for his captive wife Andromache,–she must dwell in the Molossian land, united in honourable wedlock with Helenus, and with her this babe, the sole survivor as he is of all the line of Aeacus, for from him a succession of prosperous kings of Molossia is to go on unbroken;

where, you Trojan maidens, can I find inspired Helenus or Cassandra, that they may read me my dream?

and Helenus foretells to them what is to come;
