Iphidamas (son of Antenor)
Iphidamas ( ancient Greek Ἰφιδάμας ) is a figure in Greek mythology .
He is the son of the Trojan Antenor and the daughter of the Kiss (or Kisseus) named Theano . He was brought up in Thrace by his royal grandfather, whose younger daughter and sister of his mother he married for a handsome bride present of 100 cattle. Soon after the wedding, he sailed with twelve ships to help his homeland in the Trojan War . No sooner had he arrived than he encountered Agamemnon in front of the walls of Troy and was killed in the ensuing duel. A battle broke out over his corpse, which was depicted on the ark of Kypselus in the sanctuary of Olympia and in the course of which the brother of Iphidamas, Koon , was killed by Agamemnon.
