In Greek mythology, Andromache was the wife of Hector and daughter of Eetion. During the Trojan War, Hector was killed by Achilles and Neoptolemus, Achilles' son. Neoptolemus took her as a concubine and Hector's brother, Helenus, as a slave. When Neoptolemus died, Andromache married Helenus and became Queen of Epirus.
With Hector, Andromache had a son named Astyanax. With Neoptolemus, she mothered Molossus and Olympias.
