Antiphus

Antiphus is a figure appearing in Greek mythology, most notably in Homer's Iliad. He is described as a son of Priam, the king of Troy, and is counted among the many Trojan warriors who fought against the Achaeans during the Trojan War. Antiphus is mentioned a few times in the epic poem, often in the context of the battle.

One notable appearance is when Antiphus is described as being struck by the spear of Agamemnon. However, this wound is not fatal, and he continues to fight. He is also mentioned among the Trojans who are present on the battlefield and engage in combat. Antiphus represents the numerous warriors who contributed to the Trojan defense, their individual fates often overshadowed by the larger narrative of the war.

Beyond the Iliad, Antiphus is not a prominent figure in other myths. His lineage connects him directly to the royal house of Troy, emphasizing his role as a prince and a defender of his city. The scant details provided about him serve to illustrate the scale of the Trojan conflict and the many individuals who participated in its tragic events. He is one of many sons of Priam, each playing a part in the legendary struggle.
