Axylus - Wikipedia

<<Up     Contents

Axylus

Axylus is mentioned in Book VI of Homer's Iliad.

  Diomedes, expert in war cries, killed Axylus, 
  son of Teuthranus[?], a rich man, from well-built Arisbe.
  People really loved him, for he lived beside a road, 
  welcomed all passers-by into his home.  
  But not one of those men he'd entertained now stood 
  in front of him, protecting him from wretched death.
  Diomedes took the lives of two men--Axylus,
  and his attendant Calesius, his charioteer.
  So both men went down into the underworld.
