Agelaus shouted to them and said, “My friends, he will soon have to leave off, for Mentor has gone away after having done nothing for him but brag.

Agelaus to justify his treachery declares this to be the fatal mistake.
Partly this was the treachery of Agelaus, our best general, who instead of accepting his defeat in the assembly and working for the good of Aetolia (Aetolia is a democracy) sat the war out in Sparta with a key force of hoplites.

The shepherd Agelaus - who had adopted Paris as his son many years before - noticed Paris' unhappiness, and so suggested that he travel to the city of Troy to attend their annual games.
When the two of them arrived at Troy, though, Paris decided he wasn't just going to *watch* the games - he was going to *compete.* Agelaus didn't think this was such a good idea, but wouldn't give the reason why, so Paris prepared himself for the various games.
Agelaus ran down from the audience into the arena.

Thus Alexander's royal insignia gave an indication that his kingship of Asia was neither Macedonian nor Persian but a combination of the two, and uniquely a creation of Alexander.
Leaving behind well-worn debates on the speech's historicity and the speech as Polybian fabrication, the paper analyzes Agelaus' address in order to understand Polybius' working methods and historiographical principles.

But she would not give him full victory as yet, for she wished still further to prove his own prowess and that of his brave son, so she flew up to one of the rafters in the roof of the cloister and sat upon it in the form of a swallow.
Meanwhile Agelaus son of Damastor, Eurynomus, Amphimedon, Demoptolemus, Pisander, and Polybus son of Polyctor bore the brunt of the fight upon the suitors' side; of all those who were still fighting for their lives they were by far the most valiant, for the others had already fallen under the arrows of Ulysses.

Already in deep do-do with his family, who were understandably perturbed that he had killed his sister and her baby, Priam knew better than to incur Hecabe's wrath by murdering their baby boy in cold blood.
Unwilling to use a rope or sword on the helpless baby, instead he exposed the infant on wild Mount Ida, knowing that in a day or two the boy would be dead from the elements or mauled by the beasts.
Imagine his surprise when Agelaus in a few days returned to bury the baby's corpse, only to discover that a she-bear had found the newborn and had suckled him as if he were one of her own.
