Andromache
In
Greek mythology, Andromache was the wife of
Hector and son of
Eetion. During the
Trojan War, Hector was killed by
Achilles and
Neoptolemus, Achilles' son, took her as a concubine and Hector's brother,
Helenus, as a slave. When Neoptolemus died, Andromache married Helenus and became Queen of
Epirus.
With Hector, Andromache had a son named Astyanax. With Neoptolemus, she mothered Molossus and Olympias.
