Androgeos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the son of Minos, see Androgeus.
In Virgil's The Aeneid, Androgeos was a Greek soldier, who during the sack of Troy in the middle of the night mistook Aeneas and his group of Trojan defenders for a Greek raiding party, paying for this mistake with his life. Afterwards, Aeneas's companion Coroebus dressed in Androgeos' armor in order to fool more Greek soldiers to their demise.
