In Greek mythology, Zorus (Ancient Greek: ζωρόν means ‘pure, sheer’) was a Trojan warrior who participated in the Trojan War.[1]

Mythology

During the siege of Troy, Zorus was killed by the Achaean hero, Ajax the Greater.

“So naught of all their onsets Aias;
But first he stabbed Agelaus in the breast,
And slew that son of Maion: Thestor next:
Ocythous he smote, Agestratus,
Aganippus, Zorus, Nessus, Erymas
The war-renowned, who came from Lycia-land
With mighty-hearted Glaucus, from his home”[2]
