Deiphobus is another one of those Trojan heroes you can find in the Iliad. Most relevantly, Athena took the shape of Deiphobus to antagonize his brother, Hector, into staying in the battle and fighting Achilles. Believing that it was his brother, Hector threw his spear at Achilles but missed, when he turned to ask his brother for another spear "Deiphobus" was gone. Hector realized that it was the gods that messed with his mind - Achilles then killed Hector. After the death of Paris (which Deiphobus may have been involved in), Deiphobus was given Helen of Troy as his war boon. Helen, of course, objected - during the sacking of Troy, it was either Odysseus, Menelaus, of Helen herself who killed and mutilated Deiphobus. IN MY OPINION Deiphobus in a chart can indicate a) the theft of one's identity, b) where others assume you are behind something that you aren't, c) where you gain what people most desire, d) where others come to despise you, and/or e) bodily mutilation.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of deiphobus along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of deiphobus AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede deiphobus!

Hector was the son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba. Notably, this prince disagreed that the Trojans should fight the Greeks, but was made to fight in the war as a general due to his status as the Prince of Troy. The Greek pythia prophesied that the first Greek to land on Trojan land would die; which is why Odysseus threw down his shield then landed on that. Protesilaus was the next person to step onto the land and thus died per the prediction - Protesilaus is killed by Hector. Hector was the killer and the final kill of the war. Hector was the one to propose that the two sides call a truce and use single combat to decide the outcome of the war. Ajax and Hector fought but neither were able to outdo one another. This is when Achilles stepped in - suddenly, overcome with fear, Hector ran. Achilles chased him. Hector slowed when he saw his "brother" Deiphobus (aka Athena in disguise). But Achilles threw a spear that distracted Hector and when he looked back his brother was gone. This is when Hector knew he was going to die; and indeed he did because Achilles wanted to avenge his friend Patroclus's death. Achilles dragged the body of Hector around with his chariot for twelve days before he let the Trojan's have the body back to bury. IN MY OPINION Hektor in your chart can represent a) where you are moral, b) where you do what is asked of you despite having contradictory beliefs, c) where you are the person who starts and ends things, and/or d) where you will receive a hint of your impending death.
