To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the hosts of the Trojans fell back in the strife, then Sarpedon rebuked Hektor with friendly words, and told him how he had come from the far Lykian land to fight for Priam, and had left his children and his wife behind him. He told him of all his wealth, and how he had left rich banquets and soft couches to do battle with the mighty Achaian chieftains. Many fell beneath his hand ; and of these none was braver or fairer than Tlepolemos, the son of Herakles, SARP&DON. Who had toiled for the m...ean Eurystheus, and now dwelt with Hebe in the halls of Olympos. Boldly he came towards him, exulting in the strength of his youth, and he chid Sarpedon, and taunted him with shrinking back from the battle. * Do' they call thee a child of Zeus ? ' he said. ' What knowest thou of war and battles ? My father Herakles came hither with six ships only, and destroyed the city of Ilion when Laomedon was king ; and dost thou think to escape my arm ? ' But Sarpedon said only, ' Thy father Herakles destroyed Ilion because the heart of Laomedon was not pure, and he dealt treacherously with him by keeping back the reward of his toil ; but I have no need to fear thee, and the day of thy death is come.
