| Mythology: | Daughter of Ares and Otrere, and Queen of the Amazons; she aided Priam and Troy after the death of Hector. Pentesilea greatly distinguished herself in battle, accounting for many Greeks. She drove Achilles from the field on several occasions -some even claim that she killed him and that Zeus, at the plea of Thetys, restored him to life- but at last he ran her through, fell in love with her dead body, and committed necrophily upon it there and then. When he later called for volunteers to bury Pentesilea, Thersites, a son of Aetolian Agrius, and the ugliest Greek at Troy, who had gouged her eyes with his spear as she lay dying, jeeringly accused Achilles of filthy and unnatural lust. Achilles turn and struck Thersites so hard that he broke every tooth in his head and sent his ghost scurrying down to Tartarus. Finally, when Pentesilea's body was rescued and buried on the bank of the Scamander with great honour -some say by Achilles, others by the Trojans- Achilles then set sail for Lesbos, where he sacrificed to Apollo, Artemis and Leto; and Odysseus purified him of Thersites' murder. The dying Pentesilea, supported by Achilles, is carved on the throne of Zeus at Olympia. |
