    sighting the hidden Castor and Polydeuces from Taygetus; several Trojan-cycle
    notices about Protesilaus, Chryseis, Palamedes, and others; and brief statements

confidence:
  extraction: medium
  motif_candidates: medium
  comparison_claims: uncertain
  notes: The passage is a compilation of short fragments and testimonia rather than
    a continuous narrative. Literal extraction is relatively secure for named actions
    and attributes; motif grouping is more tentative where fragments provide only
    brief notices.
