In Greek mythology, Deiphobus (, "hostile, panicky flight") was a son of Priam and Hecuba. He was a prince of Troy, and the greatest of Priam's sons after Hector and Paris. Deiphobus killed four men of fame in the Trojan War.
== Description == Deiphobus was described by the chronicler Malalas in his account of the Chronography as " above average stature, keen-eyed, somewhat snub-nosed, dark-skinned, flat-faced, brave, good beard". Meanwhile, in the account of Dares the Phrygian, he was illustrated as ". . .looked like his father [i.e. a handsome face]. He was the man of forceful action".
