Hypsenor is not a single mythic origin figure but a personal name attested to multiple individuals within the Homeric and post-Homeric record. The tradition records at least three bearers: a Trojan priest, son of Dolopion; a warrior son of Hippasus who fought under Antilochus; and a member of the Neleidae as a son of Neleus and Chloris. Each occurrence is presented genealogically or as a brief narrative note within the epic-war milieu rather than as an independent origin narrative.
No physical or descriptive details are supplied in the provided sources. The figures named Hypsenor are identified only by lineage, role (priest, warrior, son of notable parents), and fate; the tradition does not record distinctive bodily features, dress, or marks for these individuals in the supplied material.
The supplied sources attribute no supernatural abilities to any Hypsenor. Reported roles and behaviors are social and human: one is described as a Trojan priest (son of Dolopion), another as a warrior fighting under Antilochus (son of Hippasus), and a third as a son of Neleus and Chloris within royal genealogy. Their actions recorded in the tradition are participation in the social-religious office (priesthood) or in martial combat, with two entries noting their deaths at the hands of named opponents.
Eurypylus
Eurypylus (Ancient Greek: Εὐρύπυλος, 'wide-gated') is an anthroponym in Greek myth borne by several distinct mortal or semi-divine figures — kings, princes, and warriors — attested across regional heroic-age narratives (Thessaly, Mysia, Cos, Thebes, Tiryns) and the Trojan War cycle. The name functions genealogically and narratively rather than as a single supernatural being.
Antilochus
Antilochus is a princely warrior of Pylos in the Homeric epic tradition, son of Nestor and a youthful Achaean fighter at Troy. He is famed for his swiftness, beauty, charioteering skill, close companionship with Achilles, role in the funeral games for Patroclus, and for dying in later epic-cycle accounts while saving his father.
Deiphobus
Deiphobus (Ancient Greek Δηΐφοβος) is a Trojan prince, son of King Priam and Hecuba, attested across Homeric epic and later Greek and Roman narratives as a warrior of the Trojan War. He appears in the Iliad among Trojan leaders, is given expanded roles in post‑Homeric sources (notably Euripides, Dares, Dictys, Malalas) and in Vergil’s Aeneid is depicted posthumously as a horribly mutilated corpse who recounts his death.
Neleus
Neleus (Greek Νηλεύς) is a mythological heroic-age king of Pylos in Greek tradition, son of Poseidon and Tyro in most accounts, husband of Chloris, and father of Nestor and other sons. He appears in genealogical and foundation narratives and is notably killed by Heracles after refusing to purify him for the murder of his family.
Chloris
Chloris (Greek Χλῶρις Chlōris) is a personal name borne by multiple female figures in Greek myth—nymphs, queenly wives, and mortal women—whose name derives from the adjective for green/pale and evokes vegetal/fresh imagery. The sources treat Chloris not as a single, uniform supernatural species but as several mythic persons appearing in different genealogies and narratives.
