ταύτας γὰρ μόνας ἐξαιρέτους ἐποίουν· περὶ δὲ τῶν ἄλλων οὐκ ἐβούλοντο ὀμνύειν οἱ Τρῶες οὐδὲ τοῖς Ἀτρείδαις ἔμελε. τούτων δὲ ὀμοσθέντων, ὅ τε ἵππος ὑπὸ τῶν Ἀχαιῶν ἐτελέσθη, μέγα ἔργον, καὶ ἀνήγαγον αὐτὸν οἱ Τρῶες πρὸς τὴν πόλιν καὶ τῶν πυλῶν οὐ δεχομένων, μέρος τι τοῦ τείχους καθεῖλον· ὅθεν γελοίως ἐλέχθη τὸ ἁλῶναι τὴν πόλιν ὑπὸ τοῦ ἵππου. καὶ τὸ στράτευμα ᾤχετο ὑπόσπονδον τούτῳ τῷ τρόπῳ. τὴν δὲ Ἑλένην ὁ Ἕκτωρ συνῴκισε Δηιφόβῳ, ὃς ἦν μετʼ ἐκεῖνον τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἄριστος.
