In Greek mythology, Pandorus was a son of Erichthonius II of Athens and Praxithea. Pandorus was also the sibling of Metion and Cecrops. Pandorus was a very accomplished archer who fought in Homer's Iliad. Typically archers were seen as inferior soldiers compared to swordsmen. In Book IV, he was persuaded by Minerva to break the truce by firing an arrow at Menalaus. He did his job, and incited Agamemnon to rouse his troops. He is later wounded in Book XI when Ajax goes on a great rampage.
