The Myrmidons or Myrmidones (Greek: ) were a legendary people of Greek history. They
were very brave warriors: trained and commanded
by Achilles,[1] as described in Homers Iliad. Their
eponymous ancestor was Myrmidon, a king of Thessalian Phthia, who was the son of Zeus and wide-ruling
Eurymedousa, a princess of Phthia.
