Then they formed themselves into companies, made themselves ready, and in five bodies followed their leaders.

Those that went with Hector and Polydamas were the bravest and most in number, and the most determined to break through the wall and fight at the ships.

Cebriones was also joined with them as third in command, for Hector had left his chariot in charge of a less valiant soldier.

The next company was led by Paris, Alcathous, and Agenor; the third by Helenus and Deiphobus, two sons of Priam, and with them was the hero Asius--Asius, the son of Hyrtacus, whose great black horses of the breed that comes from the river Selleis had brought him from Arisbe.

Aeneas, the valiant son of Anchises, led the fourth; he and the two sons of Antenor, Archelochus and Acamas, men well versed in all the arts of war.
