king of See also:Pylos. One of the suitors of See also:Helen, he accompanied his See also:father to the Trojan See also:War. He was distinguished for his beauty, swiftness of See also:foot, and skill as a charioteer; though the youngest among the Greek princes, he commanded the Pylians in the war, and performed many deeds of valour. He was a favourite of the gods, and an intimate friend of See also:Achilles, to whom he was commissioned to announce the See also:death of Patroclus. When his father was attacked by See also:Memnon, he saved his See also:life at the See also:sacrifice of his own (See also:Pindar, Pyth. vi. 28), thus fulfilling an See also:oracle which had bidden him " beware of an Ethiopian." His death was avenged by Achilles. According to other accounts, he was slain by
See also:Hector (See also:Hyginus, Fab. 113), or by See also:Paris in the See also:temple of the Thymbraean See also:Apollo together with Achilles (Dares Phrygius 34). His ashes, with those of Achilles and Patroclus, were deposited in a See also:mound on the promontory of Sigeum, where the inhabitants of Ilium offered sacrifice to the dead heroes (Odyssey, See also:xxiv. 72; See also:Strabo xiii. p. 596). In the Odyssey (xi. 468) the three See also:friends are represented as See also:united in the underworld and walking together in the See also:fields of See also:asphodel; according to See also:Pausanias (iii. 19) they dwell together in the See also:island of Leuke.
