In Greek mythology, Agastrophus (Ancient Greek: Ἀγάστροφος) is a Paionian "hero",[1] "famed for his spear",[2] fighting on the side of Troy in the Trojan War, killed by Diomedes.
[3] He was the son of Paeon and brother of Laophoon.
[4] Agastrophus' death comes about as the result of a lapse in judgment.
Under the influence of Ate, a kind of judgmental blindness, Agastrophus made the fatal mistake of leaving his chariot too far behind him, thus being unable to escape when he was wounded by Diomedes.
[5] After killing him Diomedes strips the "gleaming corselet of valiant Agastrophus from about his breast, and the shield from off his shoulder, and his heavy helm".
