Extract

In her epistle to Protesilaus, Laodamia expresses her fears concerning Hector, the chief Trojan hero:

      Hectora nescio quem timeo: Paris Hectora dixit
      ferrea sanguinea bella mouere manu.
      Hectora, quisquis is est, si sum tibi cara, caueto;   (65)
      signatum memori pectore nomen habe!
      hunc ubi uitaris, alios uitare memento
      et multos illic Hectoras esse puta.
