Pammon

In Greek mythology, Pammon (Ancient Greek: Πάμμων) was a Trojan prince and one of the sons of King Priam of Troy and Hecuba.[1] He was killed by Achilles' son Neoptolemus during the Trojan War.

## Family[edit]

According to Pseudo-Apollodorus, King 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, Gorgythion, and Antiphonus.[2]

## Mythology[edit]

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]
