Neoptolemus

They were all terror-stricken except Achilles’ son Neoptolemus, and indeed what they faced was no slight danger.

When Troy fell she had been given to Neoptolemus, sometimes called Pyrrhus, Achilles’ son, the man who had killed old Priam at the altar.

Some say that Diomedes went with him and others Neoptolemus, also called Pyrrhus, the young son of Achilles.

Mind you, he’s not without company: Odysseus and Neoptolemus turn up to trick him into returning since they need his expertise as an archer.

Deceit is not in Neoptolemus’ nature, but patriotic duty compels him until compassion for Philoctetes reawakens his moral sense.
