Eurymachos (son of Antenor)
Eurymachos ( Greek Εὐρύμαχος ) is one of the sons of Antenor in Greek mythology .
As the son of Antenor, Eurymachos is only mentioned by Pausanias when describing a painting in the Lesche der Knidier in Delphi . The painting from the hand of the 1st half of the 5th century BC. Acting Polygnots represented the fall of Troy , the Iliupersis , and was one of the artist's most important works. The Lesche paintings were extensively described by Pausanias in seven chapters of his travels in Greece .
The house of the Trojan Antenor is shown with a panther skin over the entrance, according to Pausanias to keep the Greeks away from the house. The wife of Antenor, the Trojan Athena priestess Theano , can be seen with her two sons Glaucus and Eurymachos, with Glaucos sitting on a breastplate and Eurymachos on a rock. It is not known whether Eurymachos, like his brother Glaukos - and many others of the otherwise traditional sons of Antenor, such as Agenor , one of the bravest fighters for Troy - took part in the Trojan War .
