In Greek mythology, Thersilochus (Ancient Greek: Θερσίλοχος) may refer to three different figures:
- Thersilochus, the Trojan son of Antenor[1] and Theano. His siblings were Crino,[2] Acamas,[3][4] Agenor,[5][6] Antheus,[7] Archelochus,[8][9] Coön,[10] Demoleon,[11] Eurymachus,[12] Glaucus,[13] Helicaon,[14] Iphidamas,[15] Laodamas,[16][17] Laodocus,[18] Medon[1] and Polybus.[5][19] Thersilochus was slain by Achaean hero Achilles.[20] Later Aeneas met him in the Underworld.[21]
- Thersilochus, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers.[22] He, with the other suitors, was slain by Odysseus with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.[23]
- Thersilochus, a soldier in Aeneas' army. He was killed by Turnus, the man who opposed Aeneas in Italy.[24]
