== Iliad == Axylus was a wealthy and young man, who was the son of Teuthras. He came from the town of Arisbe, a city in the Troad, and was killed by Diomedes during the siege of Troy: Diomedes, expert in war cries, killed Axylus,son of Teuthranus, a rich man, from well-built Arisbe.People really loved him, for he lived beside a road,welcomed all passers-by into his home.But not one of those men he'd entertained now stoodin front of him, protecting him from wretched death.Diomedes took the lives of two men--Axylus,and his attendant Calesius, his charioteer.So both men went down into the underworld.
