Thymoetes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, there were at least three different people named Thymoetes.
- The first was one of the elders of Troy (also spelled Thymoitos). A soothsayer had predicted, that on a certain day a boy should be born, by whom Troy should be destroyed. On that very day Paris was born to Priam, king of Troy and Munippus to Thymoetes. Priam ordered Munippus and his mother Cylla to be killed. It is believed that Thymoetes, in order to avenge his family, advised to draw the wooden horse into the city.
