In Greek mythology, Agenor (Ancient Greek Ἀγήνωρ, "heroic, manly") is the Trojan son of Antenor and Theano who fights in Homer's Iliad. When Achilles storms toward the Scaean Gate, Agenor alone turns to face him; Apollo snatches the Trojan away in mist and, taking Agenor's likeness, lures Achilles from the wall so the Trojans can escape. Distinct from the Phoenician king Agenor and other homonyms.

I.Front-rank Trojan
Homer names Agenor among Antenor's sons who stand with Hector and Polydamas in the foremost ranks (Iliad 11.59–60) and who lead a company with Paris and Alcathous against the ships. He kills two opponents in the war (Hyginus); his own son Echeclus falls to Achilles.
In Book 21, ashamed to flee a mortal, Agenor turns, casts, and strikes only Achilles' greaves. Apollo then wraps him in mist and runs in his shape to draw Achilles away from the gates, giving the Trojans (save Hector) time to reach the walls. Pausanias has Neoptolemus kill Agenor at the sack; Polygnotus painted him in the Lesche at Delphi.
