[278] Compare Hector's dying prophecy in 22.359-60. The slight discrepancy from 113 is hardly worth notice. Cf. Soph. Phil. 334-36 NE. “τέθνηκεν” (“Ἀχιλλεύς”), “ἀνδρὸς οὐδενός, θεοῦδ᾽ ὕπο, τοξευτός, ὡς λέγουσιν, ἐκ Φοίβου δαμείς. Φι. ἀλλ᾽ εὐγενὴς μὲν κτανών τε χὠ θανών”, where the last line seems to be a reminiscence of 280 below.
