Scylaceus

In Greek mythology, Scylaceus, son of Odeus, was a Lycian companion in arms of Sarpedon and Glaucus who were allied with the Trojans. In the last days of the war he was wounded by Ajax the Lesser, but not mortally as he was fated to die at the wall of his own city, Lycia. When Troy was being sacked by the Achaean forces he fled to his homeland and was met at the wall of his city by the women inhabitants. When they questioned him about where the other men were he told them all had perished. The women in grief and anger stoned Scylaceus to death due to his bad news. His tomb was built with the stones that killed him and was located next to the tomb of another Lycian hero, Bellerophon, in the city of Tlos. Afterwards at Apollo's orders Scylaceus was worshiped as a god. His story is told by Quintus of Smyrna in Book Ten of the Posthomerica.
