[5] πρώτους δὴ καταλέγει τοὺς ὑπ᾽ Ἀχιλλεῖ1 τοὺς τὸ νότιον πλευρὸν κατέχοντας καὶ παρακειμένους τῇ τε Οἴτῃ καὶ τοῖς Ἐπικνημιδίοις Λοκροῖς ‘ὅσσοι τὸ Πελασγικὸν Ἄργος ἔναιον,’ ‘οἵ τ᾽ Ἄλον οἵ τ᾽ Ἀλόπην οἵ τε Τρηχῖν᾽ ἐνέμοντο,’ ‘οἵ τ᾽ εἶχον Φθίην ἠδ᾽ Ἑλλάδα καλλιγύναικα,’ ‘Μυρμιδόνες δὲ καλεῦντο καὶ Ἕλληνες καὶ Ἀχαιοί.’ συζεύγνυσι δὲ τούτοις καὶ τοὺς ὑπὸ τῷ Φοίνικι καὶ κοινὸν ἀμφοῖν ποιεῖ τὸν στόλον. ὁ μὲν οὖν ποιητὴς οὐδαμοῦ μέμνηται Δολοπικῆς στρατιᾶς κατὰ τοὺς περὶ Ἴλιον ἀγῶνας: οὐδὲ γὰρ αὐτῶν τὸν ἡγεμόνα Φοίνικα πεποίηκεν εἰς τοὺς κινδύνους ἐξιόντα, καθάπερ τὸν Νέστορα: ἄλλοι δ᾽ εἰρήκασι, καθάπερ καὶ Πίνδαρος μνησθεὶς τοῦ Φοίνικος ‘ὃς Δολόπων ἄγαγε θρασὺν ὅμιλον σφενδονᾶσαι, ἱπποδάμων [p. 608] Δαναῶν βέλεσι πρόσφορον.’ τοῦτο δὴ καὶ παρὰ τῷ ποιητῇ κατὰ τὸ σιωπώμενον, ὡς εἰώθασι λέγειν οἱ γραμματικοί, συνυπακουστέον. γελοῖον γὰρ τὸ τὸν βασιλέα μετέχειν τῆς στρατείας2, τοὺς δ᾽ ὑπηκόους μὴ παρεῖναι αὐτῷ: οὐδὲ γὰρ συστρατεύειν ἂν τῷ Ἀχιλλεῖ δόξειεν, ἀλλὰ μόνον3 ἐπιστάτης καὶ ῥήτωρ ἕπεσθαι, εἰ δ᾽ ἄρα, σύμβουλος. τὰ δ᾽ ἔπη βούλεται καὶ τοῦτο δηλοῦν: τοιοῦτον γὰρ τὸ ‘μύθων τε ῥητῆρ᾽ ἔμεναι πρηκτῆρά τε ἔργων.’ ... ταῦτα λέγων.
