Pammon

In Greek mythology, Pammon (Ancient Greek: Πάμμων) was Trojan prince as one of the sons of King Priam of Troy and Hecuba.[1]

Family

Pseudo-Apollodorus says that Priam had nine sons and four daughters by Hecuba, the sons being Hector, Paris, Deiphobus, Helenus, Pammon, Polites, Antiphus, Hipponous, Polydorus, and the daughters Creusa, Laodice, Polyxena, and the prophetess Cassandra. He also names thirty-eight sons by other women, including Troilus, Hippothous, Kebriones, and Gorgythion.[2]

Mythology

Pammon was chosen by Eurypylus of Mysia, along with Alexander, Aeneas, Polydamas, Deiphobus and Aethicus, as a commander to lead the Trojan host after the death of Hector. During the siege of Troy, Pammon together with his brothers Polites and Antiphonus, was killed by Neoptolemus, Achilles' son.[3]

gollark: I like `switch`es because they're nicer than just having a lot of `if` statements.

gollark: It is not strictly *necessary*, but nice to have, especially with Options and such (you've seen that in Rust right?).

gollark: No, I mean you could match on their contents.

gollark: Well, if C was more expressive™ you would match on datastructures and such.
