Antenor, a Trojan prince, son of Aesyetes and Cleomestra, and one of the wisest among the elders of Troy. He counselled his fellow citizens to give Helen up to the Greeks. It is said that, having been sent to negotiate for peace with Agamemnon, he concerted with him and Ulysses a plan for delivering up the city; and when Troy was taken the skin of a panther was hung up at his door as a signal to the Greeks to spare the house. According to some authorities, he afterward founded a new kingdom at Troy on the ruins of the old one; according to others, he settled at Cyrene or on the W. shore of the Adriatic.
