Which house did Pyrrhus belong to?

  • Aeacid

  • Ptolemaic

  • Seleucid

  • Antigonid

Answer

Aeacid, the house to which Pyrrhus belonged, was a prominent royal dynasty in ancient Greece. The Aeacidae traced their lineage back to Aeacus, the mythical king of Aegina. Notable members of this house included Peleus, the father of Achilles, and Telamon, the father of Ajax. Pyrrhus, also known as Neoptolemus, was the son of Achilles and thus a descendant of the Aeacid house.
