In Greek mythology, Pammon (Ancient Greek: Πάμμων) was a Trojan prince and one of the sons of King Priam of Troy and Hecuba.[1] He was killed by Achilles' son Neoptolemus during the Trojan War.
Family
[edit]According to Pseudo-Apollodorus, King Priam had nine sons and four daughters by Hecuba; the sons being Hector, Paris, Deiphobus, Helenus, Pammon, Polites, Antiphus, Hipponous, Polydorus, and the daughters Creusa, Laodice, Polyxena, and the prophetess Cassandra. He also names thirty-eight sons by other women, including Troilus, Hippothous, Kebriones, Gorgythion, and Antiphonus.[2]
Mythology
[edit]Pammon was chosen by Eurypylus of Mysia, along with Alexander, Aeneas, Polydamas, Deiphobus and Aethicus, as a commander to lead the Trojan host after the death of Hector. During the siege of Troy, Pammon together with his brothers Polites and Antiphonus, was killed by Neoptolemus, Achilles' son.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
