Extrait du document
Greek King of Troy during the Trojan
War, though too old to take an active part in the
war. He was the son of Laomedon and, some say, the
father of 50 children, some of them with his second
wife, Hecuba. Among them were the Trojan heroes
Hector and Paris and the prophetess Cassandra.
The death of Hector and the lack of respect paid
to his body were severe blows to King Priam. Alone,
he went to the Achaean (Greek) camp to bargain
with the hero Achilles for his son's body. There,
Neoptolemus, one of Achilles' sons, killed Priam.
