Father of Asius (`asius-hyrtacid`), whose horses tawny and tall bore the captain from Arisbe by the river Selleïs to lead the men of Percote, Practius, Sestus, Abydus, and goodly Arisbe in the Trojan alliance.1
Homer names Hyrtacus only as the father of Asius when the Catalogue musters the allies: the men about Percote and Practius, who held Sestus and Abydus and goodly Arisbe, followed Hyrtacus' son, whom his horses tawny and tall had borne from Arisbe, from the river Selleïs.2
When the Trojans stormed the wall, Asius son of Hyrtacus led the third company beside Paris, Alcathous, and Agenor — and would not leave his chariot at the ships until Idomeneus enfolded him in evil fate at the left wing.3
