InGreek mythology,Deïpyrus (Ancient Greek: Δηΐπυρόν) was anAchaean soldier who participated in theTrojan War.^[1]

Deipyrus was one of the seven captains of the sentinels, together withAscalaphus,Ialmenus,Meriones,Aphareus andLycomedes, who were commanded byThrasymedes, son ofNestor.^[2]

He was killed by the prophetHelenus, son of KingPriam andHecuba, during the siege ofTroy.^[3]

Then in close fight Helenus smote Deïpyrus on the temple with a greatThracian sword, and tore away his helm, and the helm, dashed from his head, fell to the ground, and one of the Achaeans gathered it up as it rolled amid the feet of the fighters; and down upon the eyes of Deïpyrus came the darkness of night, and enfolded him.
