Thanks! I thought it was Odysseus, but didn't have time to look it up, and that is far more detail than I remembered. Pyrrhus kills Priam (at the altar, iirc), at least in Vergil.
Though Wikipedia now tells me that there are Greek vases where Pyrrhus kills Priam by clubbing him to death with the corpse of Astyanax. Now that's hardcore. And not something I remember from my myth days.
