History
According to a post-Homeric myth, Thetis hid her son Achilles on Skyros to prevent him from going to fight in Troy. Dressed as a girl and using the name Pyrrha (red or blonde), he is hidden among the daughters of King Lycomedes. This disguise does not prevent him from having a son, Neoptolemus, with the princess. Odysseus comes to the island disguised as a peddler, and naturally, all the girls show their interest in the fabrics, perfumes, and jewelry. The only "girl" interested in the weapons is, of course, Pyrrha, and Odysseus reveals Achilles and takes him with him to Troy.
