Talk:Antenor (mythology)

Comments
I didn't think Antenor criticizes Helen's opinion of Odysseus. In my version of the text (a Fagles translation), Antenor seems to agree with her, saying that Odysseus is intimidating, with words like a "driving winter blizzard." So, I think that should be changed. 129.2.129.102 (talk) 15:40, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Antenor as diplomat
Antenor was a diplomat who tried to defuse tensions which led to abduction of Helen. Lamedon (father of Priam and Esione) mistreated the Argonauts. Their revenge was to kidnap Esione and sack Troy. King Priam sent Antenor to Greece in an attempt to get his sister back. He was repulsed which severely increased tension between Greece and Troy. Rdmoore6 (talk) 18:54, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Old Testament
The story of Antenor's betrayal of Troy to the Greeks, and their sparing of him, is highly similar to the story of Rachab of Jericho in the Old Testament.

Restoring
I am restoring the old version as this version

uses to many loaded words such as: -seducer Paris -gorgeous Helen

opinionated writing: -Some believe and feel that whereas war arouses enthusiasm, giving opportunity for courage and glory to come forth, peace tends to cause boredom, its demands being less challenging. Yet, war brings death and destruction, and that is why the desire of a peaceful settlement, makes its way even into the hearts of those who are more eager to fight

-So, while the Trojan youths mainly spent their time attending love and war, as youth often does

the article also has a severe lack of sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dondoolee (talk • contribs) 21:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Sources for article expansion
Right now the article cribs these "sources" listed by the EB11: These should be reformatted into inline citations at the appropriate places in the article. — Llywelyn II   16:11, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
