ARGUMENT OF THE SIXTH BOOK.

Homer

The battle is continued. The Trojans being closely pursued, Hector by

the advice of Helenus enters Troy, and recommends it to Hecuba to go in

solemn procession to the temple of Minerva; she with the matrons goes

accordingly. Hector takes the opportunity to find out Paris, and

exhorts him to return to the field of battle. An interview succeeds

between Hector and Andromache, and Paris, having armed himself in the

mean time, comes up with Hector at the close of it, when they sally

from the gate together.
