In [[Greek mythology]], '''Stentor''' (Στεντωρ) was a Herald of the Greek forces during the [[Trojan War]]. His name has given rise to the adjective "[[:wiktionary:stentorian|stentorian]]", meaning loud-voiced, for which he was famous. [[Homer]] said his "''voice was as powerful as fifty voices of other men''". He died after his defeat by [[Hermes]] in a shouting contest.
