Pandrasus

Family: Greeks · Role: king of the Greeks · First appears: Book I 1–3

Pandrasus, king of the Greeks, kept Helenus’s descendants in slavery: “the posterity of Helenus, son of Priamus, kept in slavery by Pandrasus, king of the Greeks.” At Sparatinum, Brutus surprised and routed his army; the next morning, Pandrasus gathered his forces and besieged the town where Brutus had placed the prisoners. When Antigonus, his brother, saw the Greek defeat, he rallied the scattered troops and turned back against the Trojans.

At the Grecian camp, Brutus attacked Pandrasus’s sleeping men, then seized the king’s tent and took him prisoner, keeping him alive: “Brutus, as I said before, having possessed himself of the king's tent, made it his business to keep him a safe prisoner”. Pandrasus agreed to the proposed marriage of his daughter Ignoge to Brutus, provided the Trojans with provisions and other supplies, and was then released as they departed from his power.

In Book X, Pandrasus later answered the summons for eastern kings and arrived with their forces to assist in the conquest of Britain.
