Celaenus (mythology)

Celaenus is a figure in Greek mythology, primarily known through accounts of the Trojan War and its aftermath. He is generally regarded as a Trojan warrior.

While not a central character in the Iliad or other primary sources, Celaenus appears in accounts and genealogies related to the Trojan royal family and the events surrounding the fall of Troy. Specific details about his parentage, actions during the war, or fate are often sparse and vary depending on the source. He is typically mentioned within lists of Trojan combatants and their lineage, rather than being depicted in significant heroic exploits. His name serves to fill out the cast of characters involved in the conflict and provides a connection to the broader network of Trojan figures.
