Andromache
In Greek mythology, Andromache was the wife of Hector and daughter of Eetion. During the Trojan War, Hector was killed by Achilles and Neoptolemus, Achilles' son. Neoptolemus took her as a concubine and Hector's brother, Helenus, as a slave. When Neoptolemus died, Andromache married Helenus and became Queen of Epirus.
With Hector, Andromache had a son named Astyanax. With Neoptolemus, she mothered Molossus and Olympias.
