Troilus - A son of King Priam
and Queen Hecuba
of Troy.
According to Homer, Troilus was killed before the Trojan war actually began, but
other legends tell that he was killed by Achilles
on an altar to Apollo.
Troilus is also portrayed as a betrayed young lover who is abandoned by a girl
for the Greek Diomedes in various stories. The girl's name varies from Briseida
to Cressida.
Their story was also the subject of Shakespeare's play Troilus and Cressida. In
Wolf's version, Troilus' lover's name is Briseis.
