Neoptolemus

For greater sorrow could not have come to me, not though Peleus himself were dead, or my young son Neoptolemus.

Then said Ulysses to Neoptolemus, “Go and spy out the place, and see whether or no the man be there.”

Shall I make mention of the realm of Neoptolemus, and Idomeneus' household gods overthrown?

Again Neoptolemus' heart smites him at the villainy he is about to commit; he reveals that his real objective is Troy.

A profound pity overcomes Neoptolemus, who is in the act of returning the weapon when Odysseus appears.
