Art Illustration depicting Meges
Meges was the son of Phyleus and his mother's name is variously given as either Eustyoche ,[1] Ctimene [citation needed ] , Timandra ,[2] Hagnete [citation needed ] , or Ctesimache .[3]
Mythology [ edit ]
Meges was one of the suitors of Helen ,[4] and commanded the armies of the Echinadians and the Dulichians during the Trojan War , having summoned forty or sixty ships; he also led a contingent of Epeans who had once migrated to Dulichium together with his father.[3] [5]
Meges was credited with killing a number of opponents, including Pedaeus (a son of Antenor ),[6] Croesmus ,[7] Amphiclus ,[8] Itymoneus , Agelaus ,[9] Eurymenes ,[10] and Deiopites .[11] Dolops attempted to strike him with a spear but the corselet Meges was wearing, a gift for his father from Euphetes of Ephyra , saved his life.[12] Meges helped Odysseus to collect gifts for Achilles .[13] He was one of the men to enter the Trojan Horse .[14]
According to Dictys Cretensis , Meges fell at Troy.[15] Pausanias mentions a painting of him wounded in the arm by a Trojan, Admetes the son of Augeas.[16] Tzetzes relates that Meges, along with Prothous and a number of others, perished at Euboea .[17]
