Sophie stole my answer... :green:
But yes, indeed he was. Paris, whose hand was drived by Apollo.

My question is, just kleeping the Troyan War-thread: who killed the old king, Priamus? (troyan king)
And what effect did it have to his(her) own deathz, meaning now the circumstates?

(a complicated question :D hope you understand :D )

Priamus was brutally murdered by Achilles's son Neoptolemus, in a scene memorialized both in Virgil's Aeneid and Shakespeare's Hamlet.

There are many characters in Greek Myth that have changed from human to monster, plant, and animal. Take this quiz if you think you know these stories

It's right again, Sophie.
Btw I want to complete your answer because of the circumstances. Priamus was killed by Neoptolemos (who was about 10 years old at this time :wink: ) by the altar of Zeus. And it's interesting (of course so was it ordered by the Moiras you could say) that he himself was later killed by an altar too (location: Delphoi...altar of Apollon, someone say by Orestes, someone say by the priest of Apollon) to get it as his panishment for the desecration of a holy place comitting murder there.

Okay, back to other heroes. By killing the snake-haired Medusa a hero (whose name is also a question) gave also birth for a mythical creature. What was it and what became its fate? (asking in another way if you wanted to find it, where would you search for it?)

What do I know about Greek mythology? Well, not enough to tackle these trivia quizzes - although I do have Robert Graves' two-volume work The Greek Myths on my bookshelf. :P Read it years ago. Have forgotten everything. :o
