Astyanax, in Homeric, a pre-Greek legend, was the son of the Trojan prince Hector and his wife Andromache. Hector named him Scamandrius after the river Scamander (Shkumbin?), near Troy. The Trojans called him Astyanax ("Lord of the City").
In the sixth book of the Iliad, Homer recounts to Astyanax the last meeting with his parents with tears in his eyes at the sight of his father's feathered helmet. After the fall of Troy, Astyanax was pursued by Odysseus and Achilles' son - Neoptolemus.
His death is described in the version given by the Little Iliad and repeated by Pausanias (x 25.4), he was killed by Neoptolemus (also called Pyrrhus), who threw the child from the walls, as Andromache predicted in the Iliad. Another version is given in the Persian Ilio, in which Odysseus kills Astyanax. It is also depicted on some Greek vases that Neoptolemus kills Priam, who has taken refuge near a sacred altar, using the dead body of Astyanax to kill the king in front of horrified onlookers. In Ovid's Metamorphoses, the child is thrown from the walls by the Greek victors (13, 413ff.). In Euripides' The Trojan Women (719ff), the herald Talthybius reveals to Andromache that Odysseus has persuaded the council to throw the child from the walls, and the child is thus killed. In Seneca's version of The Trojan Women, the prophet Calcas declares that Astyanax must be thrown from the walls if the Greek fleet is to be allowed favorable winds (365–70), but as soon as he is carried up the tower, the child himself leaps from walls.
