Why this section removed?

Homer describes them as "breathing fury" and leaving their hair long. They controlled Euboea, including the cities of Chalcis, Eretria, Histiaea, Cerinthus, Carystus, and Styra. Under their leader Elephenor, supposedly a descendent of Ares, the Abantes sent spearmen to fight in the Trojan War.

I think that it's almost perfect and is needed to this article.
