Nestor (The Myth Makers)
Nestor, also called Old Nestor, was a participant in the Trojan War on the side of the Greeks.
When the First Doctor said that anyone would be able to operate his Trojan Horse, even a child or an old man, Odysseus responded that Nestor would do admirably. However, it was the Doctor himself who was eventually chosen for the task. (PROSE: The Myth Makers [+]Loading...["The Myth Makers (novelisation)"])
Nestor was featured in the play Troilus and Cressida by William Shakespeare, which was set during the Trojan War. In Act II Scene II, Priam, Hector, Troilus, Paris and Helenus discussed a message they had received from Nestor which promised a peaceful resolution to the conflict if the Trojans simply returned Helen.
