From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Dardanus (/ˈdɑːrdənəs/; Greek: Δάρδανος, Dardanos) is the name attributed to several distinct individuals:
- Dardanus, son of Zeus and Electra, and founder of the city of Dardanus, of the tribe of Dardans.[1]
- Dardanus, a Scythian king, and the father of Idaea, the wife of King Phineus.[2]
- Dardanus, a Trojan warrior who defended the city of Ilium during the city's 10-year siege. He was the son of Bias, son of King Priam,[3] and brother of Laogonus.[4] Dardanus and his brother were slain by the hero Achilles during the battle. The latter thrust them both from their chariot to the ground, smiting the one with a cast of his spear and the other with his sword in close fight.[5]
- Dardanus, a son of Illyrius.[6]
