In Greek mythology, Podes (Ancient Greek: Ποδής, romanized: Podēs) was the son of Eetion, and thus the brother of Andromache, the wife of Hector, whom he is said to have befriended.1
Traditional treatment
Podes fought on the side of the Trojans in the Trojan War, and was killed by Menelaus. However, in Book 6 of the Iliad, Andromache claims that her seven brothers have been killed by Achilles. This contradiction is not resolved.
