Podarces

Podarces

In Greek mythology, Podarces was a son of Iphicles and brother of Protesilaus.

In Homer's "Iliad", Podarces and Protesilaus were former suitors of Helen, and therefore bound to defend the marriage rights of Menelaus, her husband, when Helen was kidnapped by Paris.

After Protesilaus was killed by Hector, Podarces led the Phylacian troops in the Trojan War, on the side of the Greeks. According to the "Sequel to Homer", by Quintius of Smyrna, he was killed by Penthesilea, the Queen of the Amazons.

Podarces was also the original name of Priam, king of Troy.
