Zorus

In Greek mythology, Zorus (Ancient Greek: ζωρόν, romanized: Zōron or Zōros, lit. 'pure' or 'sheer'; pronounced /ˈzɔːrəs/, ZOR-us) was a Trojan warrior who participated in the Trojan War.

Mythology

During the siege of Troy, Zorus was killed by the Achaean hero, Ajax the Greater.

“So naught of all their onsets Aias;
But first he stabbed Agelaus in the breast,
And slew that son of Maion: Thestor next:
Ocythous he smote, Agestratus,
Aganippus, Zorus, Nessus, Erymas
The war-renowned, who came from Lycia-land
With mighty-hearted Glaucus, from his home”
