Agenor of Troy

Archelochus,[9][10] Coön,[11] Demoleon,[12] Eurymachus,[13] Glaucus,[14] Helicaon,[15] Iphidamas,[16] Laodamas,[17][18] Laodocus,[19] Medon,[20] Polybus,[3][21] and Thersilochus[20] When Achilles was routing the entire Trojan army, Agenor was the first Trojan to collect his wits and stop fleeing from Achilles' rampage.[22] Agenor felt ashamed that he was fleeing from a man who was supposedly just as mortal as anyone so he turned to face Achilles.As the Greek hero approached Agenor the latter threw his spear at him, but only hit Achilles' greaves.[24] According to Pausanias,[25] Agenor was killed by Achilles' son Neoptolemus when the Achaeans were storming Troy through the Trojan Horse ruse.Agenor's picture appears in the great painting in the Lesche of Delphi, by Polygnotus.
