Menoeceus

Menoeceus was a prominent figure in ancient Greek mythology, known for his role in the Trojan War. He was the son of King Priam of Troy and his wife Hecuba. Menoeceus was one of the many Trojan princes who fought alongside their father against the Greeks. His name is often associated with the Trojan Horse, as he was one of the Trojans who hid inside the wooden horse to deceive the Greeks and allow the Trojans to escape the city.

Menoeceus is mentioned in several ancient texts, including Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey," as well as in the works of other ancient Greek poets and historians. Despite his brief appearance in these texts, Menoeceus remains an important figure in the story of the Trojan War, representing the resilience and cunning of the Trojans in the face of adversity.

In some versions of the myth, Menoeceus is said to have been killed during the Trojan War, either in battle or as a result of the city's fall. However, his exact fate is not clearly established in the ancient sources. Regardless of his ultimate fate, Menoeceus's legacy lives on in the enduring tales of the Trojan War and the heroic deeds of the Trojans.
