Thymoetes, one of the elders of Troy (also spelled Thymoetus)[1] and also a Trojan prince as the son of King Laomedon.[2] A soothsayer had predicted that, on a certain day, a boy would be born by whom Troy would be destroyed. On that very day Paris was born to King Priam of Troy, and Munippus to Thymoetes. Priam ordered Munippus and his mother Cilla to be killed in order to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled while sparing his own son.[3] It is believed that Thymoetes, in order to avenge his family, advised to draw the wooden horse into the city.[4]
