Aeneas the coward: "The Trojans were suspicious of the wooden horse and standing round it debated what they ought to do. Some thought they ought to hurl it down from the rocks, others to burn it up, while others said they ought to dedicate it to Athena. At last this third opinion prevailed. Then they turned to mirth and feasting believing the war was at an end. But at this very time two serpents appeared and destroyed Laocoon and one of his two sons, a portent which so alarmed the followers of Aeneas that they withdrew to Ida." -- Proclus' summary of the Ilioupersis ('The Sack of Troy,' c. 7th c. BCE, trans. Hugh G. Evelyn-White 1914)

Aeneas the traitor: "The Achaeans were oppressed with grief and felt that the army had had its head lopped off. However, they celebrated his funeral feast and made war with all their might till Ilium was taken by the aid of Aeneas, who delivered it up to them. For Aeneas, being scorned by Alexander and excluded from his prerogatives, overthrew Priam; and having accomplished this, he became one of the Achaeans." -- Menecrates of Xanthos, FGrHist 769 F 3, trans. Earnest Cary)

Absent Aeneas: “Others say that he chanced to be tarrying at that time at the station where the Trojan ships lay; and others that he had been sent with a force into Phrygia by Priam upon some military expedition.” -- Dionysius of Halicarnassus, 1.48.4 (trans. Earnest Cary)
