Panthous
(
*Pa/nqoos), one of the elders at Troy, was married to Phrontis, and the father of Euphorbus, Polydamas, and Hyperenor. (
Hom. Il. 3.146,
14.450,
17.24,
40,
81.) Virgil (
Aen. 2.319) makes him a son of Othrys, and a priest of Apollo, a dignity to which, according to Servius on this passage, he was raised by Priam; originally he was a Delphian, and had been carried to Troy by Antenor, on account of his beauty. (Comp. Lucian.
Gall. 17.)
