Valiant son of Otrynteus (`otrynteus-trojan`), sacker of cities, leader of a great host whom a Naiad nymph bore beneath snowy Timolus in the rich land of Hyde — the first Trojan Achilles slew when he leapt among the foe crying a terrible cry in *Iliad* 20.1
Achilles leapt among the Trojans, his heart clothed about in might, crying a terrible cry, and first he slew Iphition, the valiant son of Otrynteus, the leader of a great host, whom a Naiad nymph bare to Otrynteus, sacker of cities, beneath snowy Timolus in the rich land of Hyde. Him, as he rushed straight upon him, goodly Achilles smote with a cast of his spear full upon the head, and his head was wholly choven asunder.2
