Antilochus (comrade of Odysseus)

In Greek mythology, Antilochus (/ænˈtɪləkəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀντίλοχος Antílokhos) was one of the comrades of the Greek hero Odysseus.[1] When the latter and 12 of his crew came into the port of Sicily, the Cyclops Polyphemus seized and confined them. Along with the Ithacan king and six others namely: Lycaon, Amphialos, Alkimos, Amphidamas and Eurylochos, Antilochus survived the manslaughter of his six companions by the monster.[2]
