Stichius (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Stichius (Ancient Greek: Στιχίος or Στιχίον) was an Athenian leader who participated in the Trojan War.
Mythology[]
Together with Menestheus, another Athenian leader, Stichius carried the body of the Epeian commander Amphimachus off the battlefield during the siege of Troy.[1] He later supported Menestheus against the attacks of Hector.[2] Stichius was finally killed by the latter Trojan hero.[3]
"Hector laid low Stichius and Arcesilaus, the one a leader of the brazen-coated Boeotians, and the other a trusty comrade of great-souled Menestheus".[4]
