Asteroid 4791, Iphidamas, a Jupiter Trojan, was discovered on August 14, 1988 by Carolyn S. Shoemaker at Palomar Mountain Observatory near Pauma Valley, California. It has a period of 11 years, 271 days and is 57.85 kilometers (about 36 miles) in diameter.
It was named for the Trojan warrior Iphidamas, son of Antenor, whose attempt to spear Agamemnon got him killed: the spear hit Agamemnon's war belt, missing Agamemnon, and Agamemnon pulled Iphidamas toward him by the spear and killed him with a sword stroke.
The meaning of asteroid Iphidamas seems to be: situations where the more you attack the more you get stuck, to attack and then be unable to get away, pulled in to one's own detriment.
