In Greek mythology, Automedon, son of Diores, was Achilles' charioteer. In Homer's "Iliad", he rides into battle once Patroclus has donned Achilles' armor, commanding Achilles' horses Balius and Xanthos. After Patroclos's death, Automedon is driven to the rear of the battle, where he attempts to console the bereaved horses. Zeus finally intervenes, and Automedon resumes driving the chariot, but can not aid the Achaeans until Alcimidon agrees to be his driver. He repels an attempt on his life by Hector, Aeneas, Chromios, and Aretos, killing Aretos and taking his armor in the process.
