Neoptolemos

They say the Myrmidons returned home safely under Achilles' son Neoptolemos;

is he gone to the wars and will he be a great warrior, or is this not so?

"‘I have heard nothing,’ I answered, ‘of Peleus, but I can tell you the truth [ alêtheia] about your son Neoptolemos, for I took him in my own ship from Skyros with the Achaeans.

Grief greater than this I could not know, not even though I were to hear of the death of my father, who is now in Phthia weeping for the loss of me his son, who am here fighting the Trojans in a strange land [ dêmos] for the accursed sake of Helen, nor yet though I should hear that my son is no more - he who is being brought up in Skyros - if indeed Neoptolemos is still living.
