Nestor Greek King of Pylos (on the west coast of Messenia, in the Peloponnesus) and, at 60 years old, the oldest and most experienced of the chieftains who fought in the Trojan War. Nestor was greatly respected for his strength and wisdom. He was also famous for being garrulous. He was one of the few heroes of Troy who returned safely to his kingdom in Greece. In Homer's Odyssey, Nestor tells Telemachus, son of Odysseus, of some of the adventures of the Greek leaders.
