Andromache The wife of Hektor. She seems to illustrate Homer's idea of the good wife and mother; she is loyal, loving, and concerned for her family, and is willing to accept the decisions of her husband.
Antenor A Trojan nobleman who unsuccessfully advocates the return of Helen to the Achaians.
Astyanax The infant son of Hektor and Andromache.
Chryseis Daughter of Chryses, the priest of Apollo. She is the "war prize" hostage of Agamemnon until Apollo demands that she be returned to her father.
Dolon A Trojan nobleman, captured by Odysseus and Diomedes during their night expedition to the Trojan camp in Book X.
Glaukos A prince; a renowned warrior.
Hekuba Wife of Priam. Hektor is the most prominent of her sons.
Helenos Son of Priam and Hekuba; a prince of Troy and a seer.
Cassandra The daughter of Priam and Hekuba; Hektor and Paris' sister.
Pandaros A good archer, but a treacherous man; it is he who breaks the truce in Book IV.
Paris (Alexandros) A prince of Troy; son of Priam and Hekuba; also husband of Helen. He seems content to allow the Trojans to fight for him. He is reprimanded for this by Hektor more than once. His reputation is that of a "pretty boy." His smoothness and glibness are not admired by the warriors of either side, and they often accuse him of cowardice.
Poulydamas One of the Trojan leaders; a very able and clear-headed military strategist whose advice to Hektor is usually not heeded.
Priam King of Troy. He is very old and no longer able to command his army in the field, but his great courage is seen when he travels to the Achaian camp one night to ransom Hektor's body. He is a noble and generous man, one of the few Trojans besides Hektor who treats Helen with respect and courtesy, despite her infidelity to her husband and the war caused by her actions.
