I found this article from browsing the internet. It provides current information (2012) regarding the mythology of Pyrrhus (Neoptolemus) in the Trojan War. Pyrrhus Part 1. It starts by talking about the son and father relationship Neoptolemus and Achilles had. Then Barer continues to explain the history behind Neoptolemus like his name, how he ended up in the war, his prophecy and then how he ends up being a sociopath. This article was helpful to me because it just focused on the story behind Pyrrhus. I trust this author because she summarized the book The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, which is about Achilles perspective on the Trojan War.

I found this article online. Posted on a blog site from 2007. It talks about the connection between Hamlet and the story of Pyrrhus and Priam. We learn from this posting that Pyrrhus is Hamlet, Priam is Claudius and Hecuba is Gertrude. A son searching to kill a man on behalf of their dead father right in front of the man’s spouse. A story that roots from Greek Mythology about the fall of Troy. In Hamlet act 2, scene 2 we are given a vivid image of this scenario. This site was helpful because it helped clarify why Hamlet refers to this story in the play. There is no author, but this blog is a trustworthy source because it is on a big blogging website which has to be true in order to be posted.

I found this article online on Encyclopedia Britannica and was last updated in 2014. It provides information of Pyrrhus and the journey he took up until he killed Priam and Priam’s son and daughters. This article is useful because it provides more information about Pyrrhus, which is important because Pyrrhus is the character they link to being similar to Hamlet. This ‘author’ is reliable because it is an encyclopedia which is a very trust worthy source.
