And Phanias relates the same circumstances in his history of the Tyrants in Sicily, saying that the ancient offerings had been brass, both tripods, and caldrons, and daggers; and that on one of them there was the following inscription— Look on me well; for I was once a part Of the wide tower which defended Troy When Greeks and Trojans fought for fair-hair'd Helen; And Helicon, brave Antenor's son, Brought me from thence, and placed me here, to be An ornament to Phœbus' holy shrine. And in the tripod, which was one of the prizes offered at the funeral games in honour of Patroclus, there was the inscription— I am a brazen tripod, and I lie Here as an ornament of Delphi's shrine. The swift Achilles gave me as a prize What time he placed Patroclus on the pile, And Tydeus' mighty son, brave Diomede, Offer'd me here, won by his speedy coursers In the swift race by Helle's spacious wave.
