The Iliad 21.153–160
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.
Πηλεΐδη μεγάθυμε τί ἦ γενεὴν ἐρεείνεις;
εἴμʼ ἐκ Παιονίης ἐριβώλου τηλόθʼ ἐούσης
Παίονας ἄνδρας ἄγων δολιχεγχέας· ἥδε δέ μοι νῦν
ἠὼς ἑνδεκάτη ὅτε Ἴλιον εἰλήλουθα.
αὐτὰρ ἐμοὶ γενεὴ ἐξ Ἀξιοῦ εὐρὺ ῥέοντος
Ἀξιοῦ, ὃς κάλλιστον ὕδωρ ἐπὶ γαῖαν ἵησιν,
ὃς τέκε Πηλεγόνα κλυτὸν ἔγχεϊ· τὸν δʼ ἐμέ φασι
γείνασθαι· νῦν αὖτε μαχώμεθα φαίδιμʼ Ἀχιλλεῦ.
