Priam

Priam (Greek: Πρίαμος, Priamos; Hebrew: פריאמוס, Priamos) was the legendary king of Troy during the Trojan War, as recounted in Homer's Iliad and other ancient Greek texts. He was the son of King Laomedon and was known for his long reign, which lasted for 50 years. Priam was married to Hecuba and had numerous children, including the Trojan prince Hector and the prophetess Cassandra. The name "Priam" is also translated as Priamo in Italian, Priamus in Latin, and Priamos in Spanish. His reign was marked by the eventual fall of Troy, which was besieged by the Greeks for ten years. Priam's fate was tragic, as he was ultimately killed by the Greek hero Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles, during the sack of Troy. His death symbolized the end of an era and the destruction of the Trojan kingdom.
