Coroebus, son of King
Mygdon of Phrygia is a character of Greek legend. He came to the aid of
Troy during the
Trojan War out of love for Princess
Cassandra. During the Sack of Troy, Coroebus convinced some of his fellow soldiers, including
Aeneas, to dress in enemy armor to disguise themselves. When he tried to defend Cassandra from rape by
Ajax the Lesser, he was killed, either by
Peneleos,
Diomedes or
Neoptolemus.[1][2]
