Pindar, Isthmian 6.23-30
“There’s no city so foreign
Nor so tongue-tied that
It has not heard the fame of the Hero Peleus,
Blessed son-in-law to the gods,
Nor Ajax, the son of Telamon,
And his father–Alkmene’s son took him in ships
To the bronze-delighting war,
When he went as a willing ally
From Tiryns to Troy, that labor for heroes,
Because of Laomedon’s duplicity.”
οὐδ᾿ ἔστιν οὕτω βάρβαρος
οὔτε παλίγγλωσσος πόλις,
ἅτις οὐ Πηλέος ἀίει κλέος ἥ-
ρωος, εὐδαίμονος γαμβροῦ θεῶν,
οὐδ᾿ ἅτις Αἴαντος Τελαμωνιάδα
καὶ πατρός· τὸν χαλκοχάρμαν ἐς πόλεμον
ἆγε σὺν Τιρυνθίοισιν πρόφρονα σύμμαχον ἐς
Τροΐαν, ἥρωσι μόχθον,
Λαομεδοντιᾶν ὑπὲρ ἀμπλακιᾶν
ἐν ναυσὶν Ἀλκμήνας τέκος.
