I’m kinda confused

I just read the Posthomerica by Quintus Smyrnaeus and it stated that Hectors son was killed by unspecified Greeks. I had always believed that it was Odysseus because of Epic and other sources in popular media. Was this just added to improve his character arc, or was it stated that it was Odysseus in the Odyssey or another source?
