| | Penthesilea |
 | | Perhaps the references to Penthesilea are meant to indicate that these women were as brave as Penthesilea, though in different ways. | | | It is interesting that numerous references to Penthesilea are made in the Troades, because the Troades is filled with heroic women, but while these women (e.g., Andromache, Helen, Hecuba, Polyxena) were valiant in their fates - they were not brave warriors on the battle field. | | | Robert Bell mentions that some authors state that Achilles committed necrophilia with the fallen Penthesilea, and one author even goes so far as to say that the dead Penthesilea bore a son, Caystrius, to Achilles (Bell, 352). |

| | Tales of Troy - Chapter 9 |
| | In the morning Penthesilea sprang up from sleep and put on her glorious armour, with spear in hand, and sword at side, and bow and quiver hung behind her back, and her great shield covering her side from neck to stirrup, and mounted her horse, and galloped to the plain. | | | There lay fair Penthesilea in the dust, like a tall poplar tree that the wind has overthrown, and her helmet fell, and the Greeks who gathered round marvelled to see her lie so beautiful in death, like Artemis, the Goddess of the Woods, when she sleeps alone, weary with hunting on the hills. | | | Priam held a great feast, and gave to Penthesilea many beautiful gifts: cups of gold, and embroideries, and a sword with a hilt of silver, and she vowed that she would slay Achilles. |

| | Ahead of him, at the gates, he could see Aeneas and Alexandros, he who was also known as Paris, he who had taken fair-haired Helen from Sparta and in so doing had launched the Achean armada. | | | He stared glumly at the ground before him as the two warriors, one Phrygian and the other a Spartan, told him of the day's battle north of the walls of Troy. | | | He did signal them to stop, and he stepped out of his chariot, several of his casting- spears in hand. |

| | Penthesilea shows great battle prowess, and many Greeks are slain by her hand. | | | She was a mighty warrior, true - the events of the battle could not dispute that. | | | Mars (Ares) is enraged over the slaying of his daughter and plaques the earth with storms and earthquakes until Zeus subdues him, and the Trojans acquire Penthesilea's body and give her a proper burial, but Penthesilea's glory is mostly attributed to her womanly good looks. |
