In the capture of this place the poet says, Mynes and Epistrophus were slain, as Briseïs mentions in her lament over Patroclus,
“Thou didst not permit me, when the swift-footed Achilles slew my husband, and destroyed the city of the divine Mynes, to make any lamentation;”[1336]
for by calling Lyrnessus “the city of the divine Mynes,” the poet implies that it was governed by him who was killed fighting in its defence.
Chryseïs was carried away from Thebe;
“we came to Thebe, the sacred city of Eetion,”[1337]
and Chryseïs is mentioned among the booty which was carried off from that place.
Andromache, daughter of the magnanimous Eetion, Eetion king of the Cilicians, who dwelt under the woody Placus at Thebe Hypoplacia.[1338]
This is the second Trojan dynasty after that of Mynes, and in agreement with what has been observed are these words of Andromache;
“Hector, wretch that I am; we were both born under the same destiny; thou at Troja in the palace of Priam, but I at Thebe.”
