Antilochus (son of Nestor)
One of the suitors of Helen, Antilochus accompanied his father Nestor and his brother Thrasymedes to the Trojan War.When fighting there resumed after the aborted duel of Paris and Menelaus, Antilochus was first to kill a Trojan (namely Echepolus).Though the youngest among the Greek princes, he commanded the Pylians in the war and performed many deeds of valour.[4] When his father Nestor was attacked by Memnon, Antilochus sacrificed himself to save him,[5] thus fulfilling an oracle which had warned to "beware of an Ethiopian."Antilochus' death was avenged by Achilles, who drove the Trojans back to the gates, where he is killed by Paris.
