Capys
Greek mythological characters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Roman and Greek mythology, Capys (/ˈkeɪpɪs/; Ancient Greek: Κάπυς) was a name attributed to three individuals:
- Capys, king of Dardania.[1]
- Capys, the Trojan who warned not to bring the Trojan horse into the city.[2]
- Capys, mythological king of Alba Longa and descendant of Aeneas. Said to have reigned from 963 to 935 BC.[3]
According to Roman sources,[4] in the Etruscan language the word capys meant "hawk" or "falcon" (or possibly "eagle" or "vulture").
