Panthous

In Greek mythology, Panthous (Ancient Greek: Πάνθοος), son of Othrys, was an elder of Troy,^[1] husband of the "queenly" Phrontis and father of Euphorbus,^[2]Polydamas^[3] and Hyperenor.^[4] Alternatively, his wife was sometimes said to be Pronome, a daughter of Clytius, Priam's brother.^[5]

Because he was the son of Othrys, he had the patronymic Othryades (Ancient Greek: Ὀθρυάδης).^[6]

Panthous was originally a priest of Apollo at Delphi. When Priam, after Troy had been destroyed by Heracles, sent a son of Antenor to Delphi to inquire whether it was appropriate to build a new citadel on the foundations of the destroyed city, said son of Antenor was charmed by Panthous' beauty and carried him off. Panthous, in accord with Priam' s will, continued to perform his duties as a priest of Apollo at Troy.^[5][7]

Panthous was credited with killing four Greeks in the Trojan War.^[8] In the Aeneid, Panthous is portrayed lamenting his own and Troy's fate on the night of the city's fall, with his baby grandson in his arms.^[9] He is further killed by one of the Greeks.^[10]

Alongside the other Trojan elders, there was a statue of him in Thebes, Egypt.^[11]
