Axylus

Axylus (Ἄξυλος) is mentioned in Book VI of Homer's Iliad.


 * Diomedes, expert in war cries, killed Axylus,
 * son of Teuthranus, a rich man, from well-built Arisbe.
 * People really loved him, for he lived beside a road,
 * welcomed all passers-by into his home.
 * But not one of those men he'd entertained now stood
 * in front of him, protecting him from wretched death.
 * Diomedes took the lives of two men--Axylus,
 * and his attendant Calesius, his charioteer.
 * So both men went down into the underworld.
