NEOPTOLEMUS (also called PYRRxus)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 378 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NEOPTOLEMUS (also called PYRRxus) , in
Greek
 
legend
 , the son of Achilles and Deidameia. He was brought up by his grandfather Lycomedes in the
island
  of Scyros, and taken to Troy in the last year of the war by
Odysseus
 , since Helenus had declared that the city could not be captured without the aid of a descendant of
Aeacus
 .
Neoptolemus
  was famed for his beauty, eloquence and bravery. He was one of the warriors in the wooden
horse
  and slew Priam at the sack of Troy (Odyssey, xi. 508-526; Aeneid, ii. 527). Apart from these Trojan tales,
Neoptolemus
  is a prominent figure in the legends of
Epirus
  and of Delphi. He was the ancestor of the Molossian kings, who therefore claimed to be of pure Hellenic stock. He was murdered at Delphi, where he was buried, and a festival was held in his honour every eighth year.
