the other side by demoralizing the private field. That’s why they
            both say insulting words to each other..



                                                          Tlepolemos;

                                   “Sarpedon, counselor of the Lycians,
                        Why did you come here, what was your difficulty?
                              You came and sighed like a cowardly man.
                  Who says you are descended from Zeus with the shield?
                     You are far behind the braves from Zeus, very much.
                      Where is my valiant father Heracles, where are you?
                           Once upon a time for the horses of Laomedon
                                           he came here with six ships,
                                    there were very few people with him,
             It had turned llion upside down, and there were no people left
                                                        on its streets.
                                     But your heart is completely empty,
                                  That’s why your men are disappearing.
                                          What if you came from Lycia?
                               As if your help to the Trojans will be read?
                             You are very strong, but you will bow to me,
                              You will enter through the gates of Hades.’’

                                                           Sarpedon;

                                         “Tlepolemos, he is your father,
                 destroyed the holy Ilion from the madness of the arrogant
             Laomedon, Laomedon rebuked Heracles, who had been kind
                                                              to him,
                                    He didn’t give him the horses either.
                            He had come from far away for those horses.
                               Look, listen carefully to what I have to say:
                                   Death will come to you from my hand,
                                           You will die under my spear,
                You will give the glory to me, and your life to Hades, whose
                                                  horses are famous.”
