Historical background


TROAS - OPHRYNION

(4th century BC)

Ophrynion was a small city located between Dardanos and Rhoeteium, famous for its sacred grove dedicated to Hector. It is the hero of the Trojan War, son of Priam, brother of Paris, struck down in single combat by Achilles who, after having killed him to avenge his friend Patroclus, dragged the body of the Trojan hero around the walls of the city..
