Andromache
A daughter of Eetion, king of the Cilician Thebae, and one of the noblest and most amiable female characters in the Iliad. Her father and her seven brothers were slain by Achilles at the taking of Thebae, and her mother, who had purchased her freedom by a largt ransom, was killed by Artemis.
She was married to Hector, by whom she had a son, Scamandrius (Astyanax), and for whom she entertained the most tender love. (Apollodorus iii. 11. § 6.) See the beautiful passage in Homer, II. vi. 390—502 where she takes leave of Hector when he is going to battle, and her lamentations about his fall, xxii 460; xxiv. 725.
On the taking of Troy her son was hurled from the wall of the city, am she herself fell to the share of Neoptolemus (Pyrrhus), the son of Achilles, who took her to Epeirus, and to whom she bore three sons, Molossus, Pielus, and Pergamus. Here she was found by Aeneas on his landing in Epeirus, at the me ment she was offering up a sacrifice at the tomb of her beloved Hector.
After the death of Neoptolemus, or according to others, after his marriage with Hermione, the daughter of Menelaus and Helen, became the wife of Helenus, a brother of her first husband, Hector, who is described as a king of Chaonia, a part of Epeirus, and by whom she became the mother of Cestrinus.
After the death of Helenus, who left his kingdom to Molossus, Andromache followed her son Pergamus to Asia. She was supposed to have died at Pergamus, where in after times a heroum was erected to her memory.
Andromache and her son Scamandrius were painted in the Lesche at Delphi I Polygnotus. (Pausanias x)
From Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and MythologyFrom Apollodorus Library Book 3.
Now Hector married Andromache, daughter of Eetion, and Alexander married Oenone, daughter of the river Cebren.
She had learned from Rhea the art of prophecy, and warned Alexander not to sail to fetch Helen but failing to persuade him, she told him to come to her if he were wounded, for she alone could heal him.
When he had carried off Helen from Sparta and Troy was besieged, he was shot by Philoctetes with the bow of Hercules, and went back to Oenone on Ida. But she, nursing her grievance, refused to heal him. So Alexander was carried to Troy and died. But Oenone repented her, and brought the healing drugs and finding him dead she hanged herself.
From The Iliad of Homer. Book VI
Then Hector left her, and forthwith was at his own house. He did not find Andromache, for she was on the wall with her child and one of her maids, weeping bitterly. Seeing, then, that she was not within, he stood on the threshold of the women's rooms and said, "Women, tell me, and tell me true, where did Andromache go when she left the house? Was it to my sisters, or to my brothers' wives? or is she at the temple of Minerva where the other women are propitiating the awful goddess?"
From The Mycenaean Origin of Greek Mythology
Moreover, the same thing seems to have happened in the case of the Cilicians. Andromache is said to be the daughter of Eëtion, ruler of the Cilicians and king of Thebes beneath Mount Plakos, a town which was taken by Achilles.64 Evidently this Thebes is not far from Troy, but the existence of Cilicians elsewhere than in southeastern Asia Minor is unknown. I can but think that the poet had vaguely heard about the Cilicians but did not know their habitat and made them, offhand, inhabitants of Thebes beneath Mount Plakos.
