In Greek mythology, Agerochus (Ancient Greek: Ἀγέρωχος means 'high-minded, lordly') was one of the suitors of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with either 56 other wooers (according to Apollodorus),[1] or 51 (according to Homer).[2] He, with the other suitors, was shot dead by Odysseus with the assistance of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.[3]
