#son of Hector

• Astyanax — A legendary character in Greek mythology, the son of the Trojan prince Hector and Andromache, originally named Scamandrius by his father, but dubbed Astyanax ('lord of the city') by the people of Troy. His tragic fate is closely tied to the fall of the city, being thrown from the high walls of Troy by the victorious Greeks (often attributed to Neoptolemus or Odysseus) to prevent a future revenge of Priam's dynasty, becoming a universal symbol of innocence destroyed by war.
