Galaxy/The codex of Archelochus

In Greek mythology, Archelochus (Ancient Greek Ἀρχέλοχος) is a son of Antenor and Theano who, with his brother Acamas and cousin Aeneas, shares command of the Dardanians fighting for Troy. Homer calls him well skilled in all manner of fighting; he falls in the battle at the ships, and Acamas bestrides his body in vengeance.

I.Dardanian captain

Iliad 2 places Archelochus and Acamas beside Aeneas among the Dardanian leaders. Apollodorus names both sons of Antenor and Theano. In the fight for the ships Ajax slays Archelochus; Acamas then kills Promachus the Boeotian over his brother's body.

The atlas id archelochus-antenorid is Antenor's Trojan son alone — wire him with acamas-antenorid, not with Athenian or other Acamas homonyms.
