   • ~8th century BCE, Homer, Iliad 6.414-420:

     ἤτοι γὰρ πατέρ᾽ ἁμὸν ἀπέκτανε δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς, ἐκ δὲ πόλιν πέρσεν Κιλίκων εὗ ναιετάουσαν Θήβην ὑψίπυλον: κατὰ δ᾽ ἔκτανεν Ἠετίωνα, οὐδέ μιν ἐξενάριξε, σεβάσσατο γὰρ τό γε θυμῷ, ἀλλ᾽ ἄρα μιν κατέκηε σὺν ἔντεσι δαιδαλέοισιν ἠδ᾽ ἐπὶ σῆμ᾽ ἔχεεν: περὶ δὲ πτελέας ἐφύτευσαν νύμφαι ὀρεστιάδες κοῦραι Διὸς αἰγιόχοιο.

     ḗtoi gàr patér’ hamòn apéktane dîos Akhilleús, ek dè pólin pérsen Kilíkōn heû naietáousan Thḗbēn hupsípulon: katà d’ éktanen Ēetíōna, oudé min exenárixe, sebássato gàr tó ge thumōî, all’ ára min katékēe sùn éntesi daidaléoisin ēd’ epì sêm’ ékheen: perì dè pteléas ephúteusan númphai orestiádes koûrai Diòs aigiókhoio.

     Achilles slew my father when he sacked Thebe of the high gates, for he competently demolished that populous city of the Cicilians; he refrained from pilfering the body of Eëtion, though he did slay him, and then burnt him on the pyre in that richly-tooled armour of his, and heaping a burial mound above him, round which the mountain-nymphs, the daughters of the shield-bearer Zeus, planted elm trees.
