After hearing the speeches, they award the armor to
Odysseus. Quintus has narrated the fighting in Book 4 so as to show that this is the wrong decision. Ajax, raging with disappointment, plans to slaughter the Greeks during the night, but Athena diverts his fury against a flock of sheep. Once his madness leaves him, he feels humiliated and kills himself. He is lamented by his half-brother Teucer and his concubine Tecmessa. Odysseus tries to conciliate the army with a patently insincere speech. The book closes with Ajaxâ funeral, which recalls that of Achilles at the end of Book 3. Four of the first five books have ended in lamentation, and each side has lost two champions. Having engaged closely in Book 4 with Homerâs account of funeral games, Quintus now offers a description of the shield of Achilles described already by Homer in Book 18 of the Iliad. He alludes to some of the Homeric scenes but shows considerable independence, incorporating more of the horrors of war and including an allegorical scene, the lofty Mount of Virtue. The effect is disconcerting: Quintus and Homer cannot both be right. (Lines 97â98 hardly remedy this problem.) The contest for Achillesâ arms and its dĂ©nouement were described in the Aethiopis (which seems not to have had the story of Ajaxâ madness) and in the Little Iliad. By Quintusâ time, countless rhetoricians and poets had composed speeches for Ajax and Odysseus. The fullest surviving version of the episode is in Book 13 of Ovidâs Metamorphoses, where, unsurprisingly, several similar arguments are deployed. Quintusâ account of the madness and suicide owes some details to Sophoclesâ Ajax.
358:
opposing sides in the war is quelled by Zeus. Sinon volunteers to stand by the horse and persuade the
Trojans to take it inside their city. Nestor is keen to join the ambush, but is dissuaded. Quintus invokes the Muses to help him list those who entered the horse. The rest of the Greeks, with Nestor and Agamemnon, sail away to Tenedos. When questioned by the Trojans, Sinon maintains his story. The priest Laocoön urges them to burn the horse, but his sudden blinding by Athena persuades them that they should ignore his advice and drag it into Troy. Two serpents emerge from the sea and devour Laocoönâs sons. Troy is filled with sinister omens. Cassandra warns the Trojans of their danger, but they prevent her from attacking the horse and begin their final carouse. The battle between the gods is inspired by the Theomachy in Book 20 of the Iliad. The story of the wooden horse was told in the Little Iliad and the Sack of Troy and is recounted in the Odyssey (8.492â520; cf. 4.271â89, 11.523â32). Sophocles wrote plays entitled Laocoön and Sinon, now lost, and many other authors treated the subject. The best-known extant account is that in Virgilâs Aeneid (2.13â249), where the narrator is Aeneas.
366:
Polyxena to appease his continuing anger over BriseĂŻs. Her sacrifice, and the misery of her mother Hecuba, are described at length. Hecuba is metamorphosed into a dog made of stone. The voyage gets under way, with very different emotions experienced by the Greeks and the captive women. Athena complains to Zeus of
Locrian Ajaxâ sacrilege and is lent the weapons of storm. The ships are scattered. Ajax is defiant to the end. Many perish on the Capherean Rocks. Poseidon destroys all trace of the Greeksâ walls at Troy. The survivors come to land. The Odyssey can begin. Most of these events were treated in the Sack of Ilium and the Returns. The sacrifice of Polyxena and Hecubaâs metamorphosis feature in Euripidesâ Hecuba (cf. Ovid, Met. 13.429â575). Sophocles wrote a Polyxena, now lost.The storm scene has elements in common with that in Book 1 of the Aeneid (34â123). The storm and the assigning of the women are described in Euripidesâ Trojan Women (48â97, 235â92). Locrian Ajaxâ death is mentioned in Book 4 of the Odyssey (499â511). The destruction of the Greek walls is foretold in Book 12 of the Iliad (3â33).
291:. He gets Epeios to construct the horse. Neoptolemos and Philoctetes do not like the plan, because they prefer a more direct battle. Epeios prays to Athena. The horse causes the gods to break out in a brief fight until Zeus ends it. Neoptolemos, Menelaos, Odysseus, Sthenalos, Diomedes and Philoctetes are among those that board the horse. Agamemnon and Nestor stay behind. The Argives leave the horse and Sinon at Troy and pretend to flee. Sinon is heavily disfigured and left as a messenger. He says that the horse is a tribute to Tritogeneia, but Laocoon sees through the deception. He tries to urge the Trojans to burn the horse, but he is struck with blindness by Athena. He and his children are killed by two serpents. The Trojans attempt to sacrifice to the gods, but the sacrifices refuse to catch fire. Statues begin to weep and temples are stained with blood, but the Trojans are not impressed by these negative omens. Cassandra also knows the truth about the horse, but is cursed so that nobody believes her. She attempts to burn the horse but is prevented from doing so.
334:
to fetch him. Eurypylus, leader of the
Cetaeans, comes with his army to the aid of the Trojans. He is the grandson of Heracles and the son of Telephus, who once fought Achilles. Like Penthesileia in Book 1 and Memnon in Book 2, he is royally received. There is a long description of his shield, which depicts the Labors of Heracles; this complements the description of Achillesâ shield in Book 5. The second half of the book tells of various encounters in battle between the Greeks and the Trojans, with Eurypylus leading the Trojan attack. The testing of troops is inspired by a similar episode in Book 2 of the Iliad, the battle scenes by parts of Book 11. Eurypylus figured in the Little Iliad and in a tragedy of Sophocles, now lost, named after him.
338:
Neoptolemus eager to join the war, in spite of the pleading of his mother, DeĂŻdamia. They return to Troy just in time to rescue the Greek cause. Neoptolemus is given his fatherâs armor, and he rushes into battle. The book closes with his formal welcome from
Phoenix and the Greek commanders. Both sides are now confident of success. The embassy of Odysseus and Diomedes to Scyros was told in the Little Iliad. Sophocles and Euripides wrote plays entitled Men of Scyros, now lost, which treated the same episode. DeĂŻdamiaâs tearful farewells are inspired by the scene between Jason and his mother, Alcimede, in Book 1 of Apolloniusâ Argonautica. Neoptolemus is mentioned in both the Iliad (19.327â33) and the Odyssey (11.505â37).
318:
Memnon and his
Ethiopian troops. Like Penthesileia, he is royally entertained, enjoys initial success in the battle, and is defeated by Achilles. His divine mother, the Dawn, has his body carried away by the winds and metamorphoses his troops into birds. The book closes with mourning, both divine and human. Memnon featured in the Aethiopis, in the Memnon and the Weighing of Souls of Aeschylus, and in the Ethiopians and the Memnon of Sophocles. The bird metamorphosis is not mentioned in Proclusâ summary of the Aethiopis. Quintusâ account of it is close to that given by Dionysius in his didactic poem on fowling, Ixeutica, a summary of which survives; cf. Ovid, Met. 13.576â622.
346:
Greeks and warns Apollo not to kill
Neoptolemus. Calchas reveals that Troy may not be captured without the help of Philoctetes. Odysseus and Diomedes go to fetch him from the island of Lemnos. They find him living in a cave and still suffering from the putrid wound whose stench had caused the Greeks to abandon him. He is persuaded to accompany them to Troy, where he is cured by Podalirius, honored, and offered compensation. Philoctetes and his wound are mentioned in the Iliad (2.721â25). The embassy to fetch him was told in the Little Iliad. Sophoclesâ tragedy Philoctetes will have been known to Quintus. Euripides wrote a play, now lost, on the same subject.
362:
is spared as reward for past hospitality. Calchas warns the Greeks not to harm Aeneas, who is destined to found a new city. MenelaĂŒs kills Helenâs new husband, DeĂŻphobus, but
Aphrodite prevents him from killing Helen. Locrian Ajax rapes Cassandra in the temple of Athena, incurring the goddessâs wrath. The city is set ablaze. Theseusâ mother, Aethra, unexpectedly meets her grandsons. Priamâs daughter Laodice prays to be swallowed up by the earth. Most of these events were narrated in the Sack of Ilium. The best-known extant account is that in Virgilâs Aeneid (2.250â804), where the narrator is Aeneas.
342:
fierce fighting ensues. Just as the Greeks seem about to break into the city, Ganymede begs Zeus not to let him see Troyâs destruction. Zeus hides the city in cloud, and Nestor warns the Greeks not to incur divine anger. They stop fighting, bury their dead, and honor the exploits of
Neoptolemus. Both sides keep watch through the night. The killing of Eurypylus was narrated in the Little Iliad and is mentioned in the Odyssey (11.519â21). The second half of the book is inspired by the interventions of Ares and Athena in Book 5 of the Iliad.
350:
eventually wounds Paris. It has been prophesied that he can be cured only by Oenone, the wife whom he deserted in favor of Helen. She rejects his plea with scorn. Hera and the
Seasons discuss what will happen after his death. Hecuba and Helen lament him, and the remorseful Oenone leaps on his funeral pyre. The opening debate recalls that between Polydamas and Hector in Book 18 of the Iliad. In the Little Iliad Paris was killed by Philoctetes in the battle itself. Oenoneâs story had been familiar at least since the Hellenistic period.
354:
Trojans retreat within their walls. The second part of the book describes the Greeksâ assault on the city on the following day. The result is an impasse. The removal of Aeneas from the fighting is based on Iliad 5.311â17, 445â46, and several other scenes are inspired more generally by Books 5 and 13. The narrative of the siege has elements in common with the messenger speech in Euripidesâ Phoenician Women (1090â1199) and with Virgilâs account of the attack on the Trojansâ camp at Aen. 9.503â89.
322:
and 2, ends with mourning. Achilles is lamented by Phoenix, BriseĂŻs, the Nereids, and his mother (Thetis), and the preparations for his funeral are described. Poseidon consoles Thetis with an assurance that Achilles will join the gods and receive special worship. Achillesâ funeral featured in the Aethiopis. Quintusâ account recalls the funeral of Patroclus in Book 23 of the Iliad and alludes to the description of Achillesâ funeral in the Odyssey (24.43â84).

battle. The next morning, the Argives hide under their shields to get to the gates of Troy, led by Odysseus. Ares gives Aeneas the strength to retaliate by throwing huge rocks. Aeneas exhorts the Trojans to leave the city, but the battle continues around the gates. Philoctetes shoots at Aeneas, but his shield protects him, allowing the arrow to hit Mimas instead.

294:
The Trojans celebrate their victory, but are left unprepared for the Argives as they exit the horse and kill the Trojans. Priam is killed by Neoptolemos. Menelaos kills Deiphobos, who has married Helen after Paris' death. Troy is burned to the ground. The women of Troy are given to the heroes of the

At this point, the gods give Eurypylus to the Trojans. Eurypylus is able to kill many Argive soldiers and drives the Argives to despair. They draw near to the ships, but Neoptolemos arrives to fight the Trojans back. Ares demoralizes the Argives, but Neoptolemos holds his ground and slays Eurypylus.

Book 5: Achillesâ armor is displayed by Thetis, and there is a long description of the shield. She offers the armor as a reward for the man who recovered Achillesâ body. Ajax (son of Telamon) and Odysseus claim the prize, and the invidious decision between them is left to Trojan prisoners of war.
279:
