NESTOR: A son of Nekleus and

Chloris, and King of

Pylos in Greece.

He took a prominent part in the

Trojan War, acting

as counselor of the other

Grecian chiefs, but was

equally distinguished for his valor

in the field of battle.

Homer extols his wisdom, justice,

bravery and eloquence.

He lived to so great an age that

his advice and authority were deemed

to those of the immortal gods.
