In Greek mythology, Stentor (Στεντωρ) was a herald of the Greek forces during the Trojan War. His name has given rise to the adjective "stentorian", meaning loud-voiced, for which he was famous. Homer said his "voice was as powerful as fifty voices of other men". He died after his defeat by Hermes in a shouting contest.
