InGreek mythology,Crantor (Ancient Greek: Κράντωρ, -ορος) was a son ofAmyntor and possiblyHippodamia[1] orCleobule.[2][AI-generated translation?] He was probably the brother ofAstydameia[3] andPhoenix.
When Amyntor lost a war withAchilles' fatherPeleus, Amyntor gave his son Crantor to Peleus as a pledge of peace. Crantor became the arms-bearer for Peleus, and was killed by thecentaurDemoleon in theCentauromachy, the battle between theLapiths and theCentaurs at the wedding feast ofPirithous. Demoleon fatally wounded Crantor after he tore off Crantor's chest and left shoulder with a tree trunk that Demoleon had thrown atTheseus, who ducked out of the way. When Peleus saw this he cried out: "O Crantor! most beloved! / Dearest of young men!', and then succeeded in killing Demoleon.[4]
