Pandarus
Pandarus or Pandar ((ギリシア語:Πάνδαρος), ''Pándaros'') is a Trojan aristocrat who appears in stories about the Trojan War. In Homer's Iliad he is portrayed as an energetic and impetuous warrior, but in medieval literature he becomes a witty and licentious figure who facilitates the affair between Troilus and Cressida. In Shakespeare's play ''Troilus and Cressida'' he is portrayed as an aged degenerate and coward, who ends the play by telling the audience he will bequeath them his "diseases".
==Classical literature==
In Homer's Iliad, Pandarus is a renowned archer and the son of Lycaon. Pandarus, who fights on the side of Troy in the Trojan War, first appears in Book Two of the ''Iliad''. In Book Four, he shoots Menelaus and wounds him with an arrow, sabotaging a truce that could potentially have led to the peaceful return of Helen of Troy. He is goaded into breaking the truce by the gods, who wish for the destruction of Troy. He then wounds Diomedes with an arrow and acts as Aeneas' charioteer. He is later killed by Diomedes, whose spear strikes him in the face, severing his tongue.
Pandarus is also the name of a companion of Aeneas in Virgil's ''Aeneid''.
Pandarus is not to be confused with Pandareus.
