Helenus A Trojan seer. Son of Hecuba
and Priam. Classical assets are Homer’s
Iliad (6.Seventy six, 12.Ninety four, 13.576, 24.249) and Virgil’s
Aeneid (three.333). In the Iliad, Helenus is wound-
ed by way of Menelaus. He is later captured with the aid of
Odysseus and famous that Philoctetes’ bow
is required for the capture of Troy. After the
conflict, Helenus and Andromache have been given
to Neoptolemus as captive slaves. When
Orestes killed Neoptolemus, Helenus and
Andromache married and dominated in Epirus,
where they recreated a “little Troy,” according
to Virgil’s Aeneid. Helenus and Andromache
host the wandering hero, Aeneas, and Helenus
offers prophecies of the the rest of his voy-
age to Italy.
