Memnon

"In Greek mythology, Memnon (/ˈmɛmnən/; Ancient Greek: Μέμνων) was an Ethiopian king and son of Tithonus and Eos. As a warrior he was considered to be almost Achilles´ equal in skill. During the Trojan War, he brought an army to Troy´s defense and killed Antilochus during a fierce battle. The death of Memnon echoes that of Hector, another defender of Troy whom Achilles also killed out of revenge for a fallen comrade, Patroclus.

After Memnon´s death, Zeus was moved by Eos´ tears and granted him immortality. Memnon´s death is related at length in the lost epic Aethiopis, composed after The Iliad circa the 7th century BC. Quintus of Smyrna records Memnon´s death in Posthomerica. His death is also described in Philostratus´ Imagines." - (en.wikipedia.org 25.12.2019)
