"one of Hitler's myrmidons"

In Greek mythology, the Myrmidons (or Myrmidones; Ancient Greek: Μυρμῐδόνες, romanized: Murmidónes, singular: Μυρμῐδών, Murmidṓn) were an ancient Thessalian tribe.[1][2]

In Homer's Iliad, the Myrmidons are the soldiers commanded by Achilles.[3] Their eponymous ancestor was Myrmidon, a king of Phthiotis, who was a son of Zeus and "wide-ruling" Eurymedousa, a princess of Phthiotis. In one account, Zeus seduced Eurymedousa in the form of an ant.[4]

An etiological myth of their origins, simply expanding upon their supposed etymology—[b]the name in Classical Greek was interpreted as "ant-people", [/b]from myrmedon (Ancient Greek: μῠρμηδών, murmēdṓn, plural: μῠρμηδόνες, murmēdónes), which means "ant-nest"—was first mentioned by Ovid in the Metamorphoses. In Ovid's telling, the Myrmidons were simple worker-ants on the island of Aegina.
