Let us now inquire if the rules laid down will bear the test of being applied to the lower order of the Greek soldiery.
In the Fifth Iliad Hector and Mars slay a batch of apparently undistinguished persons[555]. They are,
1. Teuthras.
2. Orestes.
3. Trechus.
4. Œnomaus.
5. Helenus (son of Œnops).
6. Orestius.
And again in the Eleventh Iliad Hector slays nine more;
1. Asæus.
2. Autonous.
3. Opites.
4. Dolops (son of Clytus).
5. Opheltius.
6. Agelaus.
7. Æsymnus.
8. Orus.
9. Hipponous.
Now out of the seventeen names here assembled,
Four, namely, Autonous, Clytus, Agelaus, and Æsymnus (from its connection with the word αἰσυμνητὴς, ruler), belong to what I term the Hellic class.
Three, namely, Teuthras, Asæus, and Helenus, do not immediately suggest a particular derivation.
Of Hipponous I have already spoken. The other nine appear to conform to the Pelasgian type. Œnomaus corresponds with the Latin Bibulus.
Again; the names of ordinary Trojans appear to belong generally to the same type.
