Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Nestor
The only son of Neleus and Khloris (Chloris) to survive the wrath of Herakles (Heracles).
Nestor had two brothers and one sister: Khromios (Chromios), Periklymenos and beautiful Pero.
Nestor was married to Eurydike (Eurydice) and had many children: Antilokhos (Antilochus), Aretos, Polykaste (Polycaste), Ekhephron (Echephron), Stratios, Perseus, Thrasymedes, Khromios (Chromios) and Peisistratos.
Nestor was the elder warrior and advisor for the Greeks at the siege of the city of Troy; he was as patient and wise as he was brave and vigorous; his advice was often couched in the form of stories about long dead heroes and bitterly fought battles; he was the king of the port city of Pylos on the south-western Peloponnesian Peninsula; Nestor was a significant figure in both The Iliad and The Odyssey.
