Podes

In Greek mythology, Podes (Ancient Greek: Ποδής, romanized: Podēs) was the son of Eetion, and thus the brother of Andromache, the wife of Hector, whom he is said to have befriended.^[1]

Traditional treatment

Podes fought on the side of the Trojans in the Trojan War, and was killed by Menelaus. However, in Book 6 of the Iliad, Andromache claims that her seven brothers have been killed by Achilles. This contradiction is not resolved.
