Troilus

In Greek mythology, the youngest son of Hecuba and Priam, King of Troy, who was killed in battle or taken captive by Achilles. In medieval romance he is the lover of Briseis, or Cressida.

Chaucer's narrative poem Troilus and Criseyde and Shakespeare's play Troilus and Cressida are derived from the medieval pseudo-Homeric tale of faithless love.
