Kaletor ( ancient Greek Καλήτωρ ) is the son of Clytius in Greek mythology , thus a grandson of the king of Troy , Laomedon , and cousin of Hector . According to Pausanias, his sister was Prokleia .
While trying to set the Greek ships on fire during the Trojan War , he who threw the first torch was killed with a spear by the Telamonian Aias . Hector, painfully affected by the loss of his cousin, tried to take revenge with a javelin against Aias, but only hit his follower Lycophron fatally on the head.
