Homer, Hesiod

“ The eavesdroppers heard certain girls disputing, one of them saying that Aias was by far a better man than Odysseus and continuing as follows:
"For Aias took up and carried out of the strife the hero, Peleus' son: this great Odysseus cared not to do."
To this another replied by Athena's contrivance:
"Why, what is this you say? A thing against reason and untrue!....Even a woman could carry a load once a man had put it on her shoulder; but she could not fight. For she would fail with fear if she should fight." ”

“ Philoctetes is healed by Machaon, fights in single combat with Alexandrus and kills him: the dead body is outraged by Menelaus, but the Trojans recover and bury it. After this Deïphobus marries Helen, Odysseus brings Neoptolemus from Scyros and gives him his father's arms, and the ghost of Achilles appears to him.
Eurypylus the son of Telephus arrives to aid the Trojans, shows his prowess and is killed by Neoptolemus. The Trojans are now closely beseiged, and Epeius, by Athena's instruction, builds the wooden horse. ”

“ The words "as Lesches gives them (says) " seem to indicate that the verse and a half assigned to Homer came from the Little Iliad. It is possible they may have introduced some unusually striking incident, such as the actual Fall of Troy. ↑ i.e. in the paintings by Polygnotus at Delphi. ↑ i.e. the dead bodies in the picture. ”
