‘The Thebans have also a grave of Hektor, son of Priam, beside a spring which is called the Spring of Oedipus, and they say that they brought his bones from Ilium in consequence of the following oracle:“Thebans who dwell in the city of Cadmus,If you wish your clan to dwell with noble wealth,Bring to your homes the bones of Hektor, son of Priam,From Asia and by the command of Zeus worship him as a hero.”’
