In the fourth century Dionysios of Chalkis…wrote that Theseus' son Akamas had wanted to help Askanios and Skamandrios (Astyanax) in refounding Troy and Dardanos. The Athenians opposed such a restoration, so Akamas proceeded instead to found, or restore, other settlements in the Troad: Gergis, Perkote, Kolonai, Chryse, Ophryneion, Sidene, Astyra, Skepsis, Polich, Daskyleion, Iliukolone, and Arisbe; of all these he allowed Hektor's and Aineias' sons to be proclaimed the founders.

Peter Smith, Aineiadai as Patrons of Iliad XX and the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite, pages 54-55.

Found another account where Astyanax somehow survives. Not sure how I feel about them staying in the Troad since I find myself really liking the Roman tradition. But I do like seeing Acamas help the Trojans rebuild their homes. Even more impressive how he did this in-spite of his own people not really approving of it. I’d like to think it has to do with his relationship with Laodice.
