priam
Priam 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.
