The Iliad 21.150–151
Who among men art thou, and from whence, that thou darest come forth against me? Unhappy are they whose children face my might. Then spake unto him the glorious son of Pelegon: Great-souled son of Peleus, wherefore enquirest thou of my lineage? I come from deep-soiled Paeonia, a land afar,leading the Paeonians with their long spears, and this is now my eleventh morn, since I came to Ilios. But my lineage is from wide-flowing Axius—Axius, the water whereof flows the fairest over the face of the earth—who begat Pelegon famed for his spear, and he, men say,was my father. Now let us do battle, glorious Achilles.
τίς πόθεν εἰς ἀνδρῶν μευ ἔτλης ἀντίος ἐλθεῖν; δυστήνων δέ τε παῖδες ἐμῷ μένει ἀντιόωσι.
