Antilochus

Quartigod son of the demigod Nestor of Pylos by an unregistered mother (named Anaxibia daughter of Cratieus in Apollod. 1.9.9, or Eurydice daughter of Clymenus in Hom. Od. 3.451-452); tier = (0.5 + 0)/2 = 0.25. The swift-footed young Pylian champion, dear to Achilles, who drew first Achaean blood at Troy and died defending his father Nestor against Memnon — the proverbial exemplum of filial devotion — and was buried in the same mound as Achilles and Patroclus. era trojan-war; lifecycle authored because he dies at Troy. Brothers Thrasymedes and Peisistratus wired reciprocally in-batch; the mother is unregistered so only the father edge is set.
