The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Sportsman by Xenophon: her whom he desired, Periboea the daughter of Alcathus;[17] and when
the first of Hellenes,[18] Heracles[19] the son of Zeus, distributed
rewards of valour after taking Troy, to Telamon he gave Hesione.[20]
[16] See "Il." viii. 283l Paus. i. 42. 1-4.
[17] Or Alcathous, who rebuilt the walls of Megara by Apollo's aid.
Ov. "Met." viii. 15 foll.
[18] Reading {o protos}; or if with L. D. {tois protois}, "what time
Heracles was distributing to the heroes of Hellas (lit. the first
of the Hellenes) prizes of valour, to Telamon he gave."
[19] See Hom. "Il." v. 640; Strab. xiii. 595.
[20] See Diod. iv. 32; i. 42.
