Helenus - Mythology. Greek Son of Priam and Hecuba; brother of Paris, Hector, and Cassandra. With his sister, Helenus shared the gift of prophecy. In Homer's Iliad, Helenus gives good advice to Hector, leader of the Trojans in the Trojan War. In the play Andromache, by Euripides, Helenus weds his fellow captive Andromache after the fall of Troy. In some accounts, Helenus becomes king of Epirus. In Virgil's Aeneid, he warns the Trojan hero of Scylla and Charybdis and urges him to consult with the Sibyl of Cumae.
