Schedius
Schedius (Ancient Greek: Σχεδίος Skhedíos means 'near') was a name attributed to four individuals in Greek mythology.
- Schedius, son of Iphitus by Hippolyte or Thrasybule[1] and brother of Epistrophus.[2] He was counted among the suitors of Helen.[3] In the Iliad, he and his brother lead the Phocians on the side of the Achaeans in the Trojan War,[4] Schedius being commander of ten ships out of forty brought by both brothers.[2][5] He was killed when Hector threw a spear at Ajax, who dodged it.[6] Both brothers' bones, were carried back and buried at Anticyra. Their tomb existed until the Roman times. Pausanias also cites that Schedius's icon was displayed at Delphi.[7]
- Schedius, son of Perimedes, was a leader of the Phocians. He was killed by Hector.[8]
- Schedius, a defender of Troy who was killed by Neoptolemus.[9]
- Schedius, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers.[10] He, with the other suitors, was shot dead by Odysseus with the assistance of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.[11]
