Acamas information

Acamas or Akamas (/ɑːˈkɑːmɑːs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀκάμας, folk etymology: 'unwearying'^[1]) was a name attributed to several characters in Greek mythology. The following three all fought in the Trojan War, and only the first was not mentioned by Homer.

Acamas, son of Antenor, fought on the side of the Trojans and killed one Greek.^[3]
Acamas, son of Eussorus, from Thrace,^[4] and thus, could be the brother of Aenete^[5] and Cyzicus.^[6] With his comrade Peiros, son of Imbrasus, Acamas led a contingent of Thracian warriors to the Trojan War.^[7] Acamas was killed by Ajax^[8] or by Idomeneus who thrust him out of his chariot and caught him, as he fell, on the tip of his spear.^[9]
