During the siege of the city of Troy, Odysseus and Menelaos (Menelaus) went to the Trojans under a flag of truce and asked that Helen be returned so that the war could end.
Antimakhos was one of the Trojan advisors who advised that Helen not be surrendered and that the Greek emissaries, Odysseus and Menelaos, be killed; king Priam would not allow the murder of Odysseus and Menelaos and they returned to the Greek encampment unharmed.
When Agamemnon caught the two sons of Antimakhos, Peisandros and Hippolokhos (Hippolochos), on the battlefield they begged for mercy by saying that their father would pay a fortune for their safe return; Agamemnon reminded them that their father wanted to murder his brother, Menelaos, and killed the sons of Antimakhos without hesitation.
The name, Antimakhus, may also be rendered as Antimakhus or Antimachos.
(Iliad, book 11, lines 125+)
