Historical Note on Greek Anthology Book $\text {XIV}$: $20$ - Enigma

Pyrrhus in this context is Neoptolemus, who took Andromache as a concubine after the death of her husband Hector in the Trojan War.

He it was who murdered Polyxena, according to some legends (or sacrificed, which is tantamount to the same thing).

Deidamia of Scyros was indeed his mother.
