Icon of person Memnon

In Greek mythology, Memnon ( ; Ancient Greek: Μέμνων, lit. 'resolute') was a king of Aethiopia and son of Tithonus and Eos. During the Trojan War, he brought an army to Troy's defense and killed Antilochus, Nestor's son, during a fierce battle. Nestor challenged Memnon to a fight, but Memnon refused, being there was little honor in killing the aged man. Nestor then pleaded with Achilles to avenge his son's death. Read more on Wikipedia
