Deiphobus : son of Priam & Hecuba.
... goes to Deiphobus, one of Priam's sons. He is wrapt in "scenes of a vivider world", the grandiose dreams natural to the slumber of a warrior-soul, but suddenly he is drawn back from them by the high and insistent call of the warders. The lines which show him awaking to "the pull of the conscious thread of the earth-bond" throw up by a masterly final phrase the whole figure and being of Deiphobus: ... significant of the big bulk of Deiphobus, after the first rapid and energetic bestirring, firmly yet gradually leaving his royal bed: He from the carven couch upreared his giant stature. The aptness of this metrical movement is rivalled by a line at almost the close of Ilion. There it is Aeneas who is spoken of, called out to attend the assembly planned by Deiphobus for hearing the secret message... Deiphobus slowly, Measuring Fate with his thoughts in the troubled vasts of his spirit, Back through the stir of the city returned to the house of his fathers, Taming his mighty stride to the pace infirm of the Argive. The second line where the long and large-breath'd delivery of the hexameter is sublimely utilised to describe the rnind of Deiphobus finds a sort ...

... in its beauty and its glimpse of the supra-terrestrial." 77 Deiphobus appears "brilliant" to the men of Troy, but to Page 316 the gods he is a dead man in a doomed city; the appearance belies the reality; the petty terrestrial drama is the echo of a voice hushed already. In one tremendous simile Deiphobus and Troy are presented both in Time and in Eternity. Behind man... Void and null and dark through the uncaring infinite vastness, So now he seemed to the sight that sees all things from the Real. 76 Troy is already a doomed city; when Deiphobus hastens through the streets he is "a gleaming husk but empty", a corpse, although he doesn't know it; he is like the light of a star "long extinguished". Mr. Sethna comments as follows on this ...

A man is dead, but till the news appear people think he is alive. A star is extinguished, but people ...
... Last the eternal gaze was fixed on Troy and the armies Marching swift to the shock. It beheld the might of Achilles Helmed and armed, knew all the craft in the brain of Odysseus, Saw Deiphobus stern in his car and the fates of Aeneas, Greece of her heroes empty, Troy enringed by her slayers, Pans a setting star and the beauty of Penthesilea. These things he saw delighted;... thunderbolt flaming down from the hand of the Father. Thence in his chariot drawn by living fire and by swiftness. Thundered down to earth's plains the mighty impetuous Ares. Far where Deiphobus stern was labouring stark and outnumbered Smiting the Achaian myriads back on the right of the carnage, Over the hosts in his car he stood and darkened the Argives. But in the courts ...

... ending in the doom and ruin of Troy at the hands of Greeks appears to be the plan of the poem. At dawn, the proposal of Achilles is conveyed through his messenger to the leaders of Troy, including Deiphobus, Aeneas, Paris, Penthesilia and Priam; the proposal is rejected in the morning by Troy's assembled chieftains; there is then the call to arms and the narration of partings of the Trojan leaders, including ...

... familiar situation is charged with the heroic, the high-souled, the unforgettable. This burdening of even the smallest casual turn we may indirectly describe through the two lines put into the mouth of Deiphobus about the sudden actuali-sation of Fate: Always man's Fate hangs poised on the flitting breath of a moment; Called by some word, by some gesture it leaps, then 'tis graven, 'tis granite ...
