Euphorbus, the son of Panthous, was a Trojan hero during the Trojan War. He wounded Patroclus before Patroclus was killed by Hector. In the fight for Patroclus' body, Euphorbus was killed by Menelaus (Iliad, xvi-xvii). Menelaus later took Euphorbus' shield to the temple of Hera in Argos.
When Achilles refused to fight because of his feud with Agamemnon, Patroclus donned his armor, led the Myrmidons and killed many Trojans, including Sarpedon (a son of Zeus), and Cebriones (the chariot driver of Hector).
He was killed by Hector and Euphorbos, with help from Apollo.
After retrieving his body, which had been protected on the field by Menelaus and Telamonian Aias, Achilles returned to battle and avenged his friend's and/or lover's death by killing Hector and desecrated his body behind his chariot instead of allowing the Trojans to honorably dispose of it by burning it.
