Protesilaus means in Greek "first of the army". When Alexander the Great started his campaign, he visited Troy, and paid honor to Protesilaus's tomb.

@@chrisg.k487 Ναι, το πραγματικό του όνομα ήταν Ιόλαος, γιος του Άκαστου βασιλιά της Ιολκου και γιος του Πελία. Ονομάστηκε Πρωτεσιλαος, επειδή είχε πατήσει πρώτος από όλους τους Αχαιούς το πόδι του στη ΤΡΟΙΑ από επιλογή και ας ήξερε πως ο πρώτος που θα το έκανε θα πέθαινε κατά ένα χρησμό. Για αυτό και οι Αχαιοί του έκτισαν ναό προς τιμήν του και του έδειξαν οι ντόπιοι Έλληνες στη Ευρωπαϊκή ακτή του Ελλησπόντου θυσίες, στον "Ομηρικό Κύκλο" έχουν κάνει και βίντεο για αυτόν.

Wow, that was quite story about Achilles Challenges Poseidon's Son.

[@icantthinkofaname940b2]

Protesilaus was a half-nephew of Heracles. His father, Iphiclus and Heracles had the same mother (Alcmene), but different fathers (Amphitryon and Zeus). Cycnus married Proclia, a daughter of Laomedon, King of Troy or his son Clytius making him either Priam's brother-in-law or his niece's husband.

[@hariszark7396]

That is a clear evidence about the connections between the two armies. The war was not Greeks vs Trojans but Ahaeans vs Trojans. Both Greek kingdoms. (Before they get the name Greeks ofcourse).

Good job presenting the Homeric first act of the great civil war of the bronze age.. Troyian Greeks against Achaean Greeks.

[@mixahlkaranikolas2568]

It wasn't civil back then Greece wasn't united instead there were different kingdoms like Athens Thrace Sparta etc they united much later to fend off persians and yet they weren't called Greece (helas) land of light anyway Greece happen much later however the 12 islands in Greece became part of Greece after our independence from ottomans so basically troy war wasn't civil! For example if Greece fights Cyprus it won't be civil war cause we both speak same language cause Cyprus is considered an autonomous and separated "country"

[@kishoredhar3660]

I'm surprised. Achilles himself is nearly invulnerable as well since he was bathed in the river Styx by his mother. That should've made him a greater challenge against his opponent. Achilles himself is also half divine, being the son of Thetis.

Not all half-gods are equal.

[@kishoredhar3660]

"You can't." He was sitting up now, leaning forward. "I can't." "I know. They never let you be famous AND happy." He lifted an eyebrow. "I'll tell you a secret." "Tell me." I loved it when he was like this. "I'm going to be the first." He took my palm and held it to his. "Swear it." "Why me?" "Because you're the reason. Swear it."

Dardanus was a grandson of Jacob called Israel or Judah. He was the first to leave Egypt before Ephraim after Jacob, Levi, and Joseph died in Egypt. . Dardanus is the first king of Troy and his son is Tros or Troas. Dardanus was also the father of Erecthonius king of Attica or Athens after Cecrops. Canaan also left Egypt to Tyre first before where I think he was King, where he also known as Agenor the father of Cadmus. Also Canaan was a Zeus or Baal.
