Stichius (mythology)

Together with Menestheus, another Athenian leader, Stichius carried the body of the Epeian commander Amphimachus off the battlefield during the siege of Troy.^[1] He later supported Menestheus against the attacks of Hector.^[2] Stichius was finally killed by the latter Trojan hero.^[3]

"Hector laid low Stichius and Arcesilaus, the one a leader of the brazen-coated Boeotians, and the other a trusty comrade of great-souled Menestheus".^[4]
