 Zeus and his beloved Ganymede - a Cretan myth in Greek Mythology
He had a son named Tros, lord of the Trojans, and to him in turn were born three unblemished boys: Ilus founder of Ilium, Assaracus, and god-like Ganymede — the handsomest ever born of the human race.
Tros loved Ganymede from the bottom of his heart and set guardians and tutors to watch over him as he wrestled, or rode to the hounds, or swam through the crashing, dragging breakers of the warm Mediterranean.
Tros’ heart was filled with joy and he drove his new horses as fast as the wind.

 NASDR Proposes Permanent TRO Rule
The industry has been criticized for obtaining TROs in court, where firms are usually successful arguing their cases before judges unfamiliar with industry practice, versus in arbitration, where they obtain a TRO or injunction about a third of the time.
Brokers would, however, lose one of their key arguments in preventing court TROs: that the availability of a TRO in arbitration is grounds for denial by a judge.
The TRO strategy typically is used to obtain settlements from defecting reps; some 96% of TRO cases filed with the NASD from January 1996 to October 1997 settled, according to NASDR statistics.

 The SocioWeb: Sociology Books » Tros of Samothrace
"Tros of Samothrace" is a massive historical novel, which, together with two sequels, was awkwardly handled by their hardcover publishers, and treated even worse in certain paperback editions.
"Tros" and some of Mundy's other stories also have striking resemblances to later fantasy and science fiction adventure stories, not surprising given that Robert E. Howard was among Mundy's original readers, and that more recent fans included Marion Zimmer Bradley, who openly acknowledged his direct influence on one of her "Darkover" novels.
The Avon "Tros" was followed in Britain by a Universal-Tandem four-volume paperback set in 1971, officially based on the 1934 British edition from Hutchinson, but basically a variant of the Avon editions, with the same titles, but new cover art.

Republic Act 875 does not apply to matters of extreme urgency involving a constitutional issue, including cases in which a TRO is needed to prevent grave injustice and irreparable injury.

A TRO is defined as a municipal, county, regional, or state regulation that usually involves the participation of developers and/or employers in trip demand management.

Tros had three sons: Ilos, Assarakos, and Ganymede, [the last] of whom had a great name for beauty.
