Euphorbus

(Redirected from Euphorbos)

Euphorbus, the son of Panthous , was a Trojan hero during the Trojan War. He wounded Patroclus before Patroclus was killed by Hector. In the fight for Patroclus' body, Euphorbus was killed by Menelaus (Iliad, xvi-xvii). Menelaus later took Euphorbus' shield to the temple of Hera in Argos.

The philosopher Pythagoras claimed to be a reincarnation of Euphorbus.
