Deïphobus


Deïphobos (Old Greek: Δηΐφοβος / Dêïphobos) or Deïphobobus (Latin), also written as Deiphobos, Dephobos / Deiphobus, Dephobus, is a figure from Greek mythology. He is the third son of King Priamos of Troy and Hekabe, and after Hektor one of the bravest Trojans. He was also the brother of Paris, Helenos, Troïlos and Kreousa, Kassandra and Polyxena.

He opposed the extradition of Helena, and after the death of Paris, he married her. During the war he killed several major Greeks, including Askalaphos, the son of Ares. He himself was injured by Meriones, but by his brother Polites, he was still in a hurry. At the conquest of Troy his house was first stormed by the Greeks because he was Helena's husband. Odysseus and Menelaos directed their main assault against them and Deïphobos himself, betrayed by Helena to the Greeks, was terrified by Menelaos, as Aineas met him later in the underworld.

Te Olympia was found a statue of Deïphobos. Ancient sources
