POLYXENA

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 42 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
POLYXENA , in
Greek
 
legend
 , daughter of Priam, king of Troy, and Hecuba. She had been betrothed to Achilles, who was slain by Paris in the temple of
Apollo
  Thymbraeus, where the
marriage
  was to have been celebrated (Hyginus, Fab. rto). The shade of Achilles afterwards appeared to the returning Greeks in the Thracian Chersonese and demanded the sacrifice of Polyxena, who was put to death by
Neoptolemus
 , son of Achilles, on his father's grave (
Ovid
 , Metam. xiii. 440 sqq.). The tragic story is the subject of the Hecuba of Euripides, the Troades of
Seneca
  and the Polyxena of Sophocles, of which only a few fragments remain. According to
Philostratus
  (Heroica, 20, 18), Polyxena fled to the Greeks after the murder of Achilles and committed
suicide
  on his
tomb
 .
