Legend has it that he suicided after shaming himself while temporarily deranged, after Odysseus won a competition between them for the dead Achilles' armour. Following the chronology of his forbears, he would have been dead by the time of the Trojan War. The bards introduced him into their story of the Trojan War to have yet another great hero.
