Atymnius

Atymnius is a relatively obscure name in Greek mythology, primarily known through mentions in connection with Trojan War figures. Specifically, Atymnius appears as one of the companions or squires of Sarpedon, a Lycian prince and son of Zeus who fought on the Trojan side.

Information about Atymnius is scant, and he is mostly remembered for his death at the hands of either Patroclus or Antilochus during the Trojan War. Different accounts exist regarding which Greek hero slew him. The Iliad itself offers somewhat conflicting narratives. His role is generally limited to being a casualty within the larger epic conflict, highlighting the bravery and prowess of the Greek warriors.

Beyond the Iliad, little is recorded about Atymnius' background, family, or any other details of his life. He remains a minor figure within the vast pantheon and mythology of ancient Greece.
