The Trojans then wheeled round, and again met the Achaeans, while the Argives on their part strengthened their battalions.

The battle was now in array and they stood face to face with one another, Agamemnon ever pressing forward in his eagerness to be ahead of all others.
Tell me now ye Muses that dwell in the mansions of Olympus, who, whether of the Trojans or of their allies, was first to face Agamemnon?
It was Iphidamas son of Antenor, a man both brave and of great stature, who was brought up in fertile Thrace, the mother of sheep.

Cisses, his mother's father, brought him up in his own house when he was a child--Cisses, father to fair Theano.

When he reached manhood, Cisses would have kept him there, and was for giving him his daughter in marriage, but as soon as he had married he set out to fight the Achaeans with twelve ships that followed him: these he had left at Percote and had come on by land to Ilius.

He it was that now met Agamemnon son of Atreus.
