Nestor was the heroic son of Neleus and Chloris, rulers of Pylos, Messenia, in Greek mythology. Late Greek legend said that Hercules killed Nestor’s father and brothers. Nestor, a great warrior, fought in the battle between the Centaurs and the Lapiths. He helped kill the Calydonian boar, and he went on the voyage of the Argonauts to find the Golden Fleece.
