"Hippomedon [who was an ally of Troy in the Trojan War], Hippasos' bold son, whom Okyrhoe the Nymphe had borne beside Saggarios' river-flow. Ne'er welcomed she her son's returning face, but ruthless Ker (Fate) with anguish thrilled her of her child bereaved." - Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 11.37
