BOOK IV

• with Tydeus (interaction) “Tydeus, therefore, and Polynices went their way.”
• friends with Tydeus “Tydeus did not shrink thus, but was ever ahead of his men when leading them on against the foe—so, at least, say they that saw him in battle, for I never set eyes upon him myself. They say that there was no man like him. He came once to Mycenae, not as an enemy but as a guest, in company with Polynices”
• enemies with Eteocles “they were levying war against the strong city of Thebes, and prayed our people for a body of picked men to help them.”
