Asteropaios

In the Iliad, Asteropaios (/ˌæstərəˈpiːəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀστεροπαῖος, romanized: Asteropaíos; Latin: Asteropaeus) was a leader of the Trojan-allied Paeonians along with fellow warrior Pyraechmes.

[1] Asteropaios had the distinction in combat of being ambidextrous and would on occasion throw two spears at once.

[2] In Book XXI, as Achilles is mercilessly slaughtering Trojan warriors alongside the river god Scamander and polluting the waters with dead bodies (including one of Priam's sons, Lycaon).

One spear hit Achilles' shield, while the other reached his right forearm and drew blood.

[5] Later, in the funeral games for the slain Patroclus, the bronze and tin corslet[6] and the silver-studded sword[7] of Asteropaios are awarded as prizes.
