List of King Priam's childrenIn
Greek mythology, Deiphobus was a son of
Priam and
Hecuba. He was a prince of
Troy, and the greatest of Priam's sons after
Hector and
Paris. In the
Trojan War, described in the Iliad, he along with his brother
Helenus led a group of soldiers at the siege of the newly-constructed Argive wall and killed many, also wounding the hero
Achean Meriones. As Hector was fleeing
Achilles,
Athena took the shape of Deiphobus and goaded Hector to make a stand and fight. Hector, thinking it was his brother, listened and threw his spear at Achilles. When the spear missed, Hector turned around to ask his brother for another spear, but Deiphobus had vanished. It was then Hector knew the gods had deceived and forsaken him, and he met his fate at the hand of Achilles.
