Named for the huge, stalwart son of the Trojan counselor Antenor {see planet  (2207)} and brother of Agenor {see planet  (1873)}. During the battle near the Greek encampment, Iphidamas thrust his spear into Agamemnon {see planet  (911)}, who was saved by his war belt. Pulling the spear toward himself, Agamemnon then killed Iphidamas with a sword stroke to the neck. (M 18465) _ _.
