Notably, most of the women survive the sacking of Troy to become concubines to the warriors who led the Greek campaign. Andromache, Hector's wife, was taken by Achilles' son, Neoptolemus. Hecuba, the wife of Priam, was to be taken by Odysseus as a slave, but as she snarled and bit at him, the gods turned her into a dog so she could escape. Helen was taken back to Sparta by Menelaus. None of the men of the royal family survived.

One notable Survivor, though, was Aeneas, who was third cousin to Hector, and a lieutenant in his army. Aeneas went on to Italy to found Alba Longa, and establish the roots of Rome.
