InGreek mythology,Cebriones (Ancient Greek: Κεβριόνης,Kebriones) was the illegitimateson of KingPriam ofTroy and a slave.^[1][2]

In theIliad, he was the half-brother ofHector and his final charioteer during theTrojan War. Along with Hector andParis, he was part of the division that finally breached the Argive wall.Patroclus, theAchaean warrior, killed him by throwing a "shining stone," hitting him in the forehead and knocking his eyes out of his head. The force of the blow flung him from Hector's chariot, leading Patroclus to remark that with his great "diving" ability, he could have satisfied many by diving for oysters in the "storming sea".^[3]

Cebriones was also the name of a giant featured in theGigantomachy and mentioned in Artistophanes' playThe Birds.
