Neoptolemus' age[edit]

"After Odysseus arrived at Lycomedes's palace and exposed Achilles as a young man, Achilles decided to join the Trojan War, leaving behind a pregnant, heart-broken Deidamia. Their son, Neoptolemus, later joined his father in the Trojan War..."

How is this possible? Neoptolemus must have been a ten year old boy at the end of the war.--80.141.229.54 (talk) 15:33, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Statius[edit]

Statius claimed that Achilles raped Deidamia, not that they had a consensual romantic relationship.
