The son of Hector and Andromache, named Astyanax, faced a tragic fate after the fall of Troy. According to various ancient sources, when the Greeks captured the city, Andromache was one of the captives taken, and the Greeks deemed Astyanax a potential threat because he was the son of Hector, a heroic Trojan warrior. As a result, the Greeks decided to kill him to eliminate the hope of a future Trojan leader rising against them.
