Aesyetes

In Greek mythology, Aesyetes (/ɛˈsaɪɛtiːz/ eh-SY-et-eez; Ancient Greek: Αἰσυήταο)[1] was a Trojan hero and father of Alcathous.[2] He was also given as the father of Antenor by Cleomestra.[3] Aesyetes' tomb was the vantage point which Polites, son of Priam, used to scout the Greek camp during the Trojan War.[4]
