Antinous

As he said this, he grabbed the stool and threw it.
It hit the bottom of Odysseus' right shoulder,
where it joins the back.  But he stood firm, like a rock—
what Antinous had thrown didn't make him stagger.
He shook his head in silence, making cruel plans
deep in his heart. Odyssey Book XVII

In Greek mythology, Antinous, or Antinoös, son of Eupeithes, was the leader of Penelope's suitors and was the first to be killed by Odysseus, Telemachus and Eumaios in the Great Hall.
