For some reason, my laptop was being retarded and wouldn't let me continue the last post I had of this...sorry
When we left off, I gave a REALLY long list of the Achaean army. Now for the Trojan side. Woohoo. -sarcasm-
So, this chick Iris, the other messenger besides Hermes, was sent by Zeus to go down to Ilium to give a message for him. (Hey! Story before list!) She was supposed to deliver a message to the Trojans...I have no clue why...let's read on to find out. For some reason, she was trying to sound like Polites...Oh! He was supposed to be watching to see if the Argives fled. Pansies. She instructed Hector to tell each cheif to lead his own tribe cuz they spoke a bunch of different languages even though they were on the same side...both sides have allies, so wouldn't that be kinda confusing? Maybe it's like soccer or something where opposing teams have different colored jerseys or somethin...but then again, I don't know anything about soccer.
So then they opened up the gates and were like CHAAAAARGEE!!
So they "ranged their troops for battle" at Thicket Ridge AKA the leaping Amazon Myrine's mounded tomb. That sounds dangerous...
Okay, here's the groups (ugh)...
Group 1: the Trojans led by Hector
Group 2: the Dardanians led by Aeneas (son of Anchises and Aphrodite O.o ) along with Antenor's two sons Acamas and Archelochus (I don't understand why they had to make these names so complicated o.O )
Group 3: the men who lived in Zelea (Trojan territory) led by Pandarus (Lycaon's son) with Apollo's own bow
Group 4: the men of Pityea (Terea's steep peaks) led by Apaesus and Adrestia, the two sons of Merops who had to argue with daddy to get him to let them go. He didn't like war.
Group 5: the men who lived around Percote and Practios, men who settled Sestos, Abydos and Arisbe; led by Asius, the son of Hyrtacus
Group 6: the Pelasgian tribes led by Hippothous and Pylaeus, the sons of Pelasgian Lethus (who was the scion of Teutamus)
Group 7: the Thracians led by Acamas and Pirous
Group 8: the Cicones led by Euphemus (son of Troezenus, who was the son of Ceas)
Group 9: the Paeonians led by Pyraechmes
Group 10: the Paphalognians led by Pylaemenes
Group 11: the Halizonians led by Odius and Epistrophus
Group 12: the Mysian men led by Chromis with Ennomus seer of birds (Chromis was crushed by Achilles)
Group 13: the Phrygians led by Ascanius and Phorcys
Group 14: the Maeonian units led by Talaemenes' two sons Mesthles and Antiphus
Group 15: the Carians led by Amphimachus and Nastes, the two sons of Nomion. But Nastes came dressed in gold and Achilles took him down.
Group 16: the Lycians led by Sarpedon and Glaucus
That's the end of Book 2
