Phyleus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Phyleus (/ˈfɪlˌjs/; Ancient Greek: Φυλεύς probably derived from φυλή phylē "tribe, clan, race, people") was an Elean prince and one of the Calydonian boar hunters.[1]

Phyleus was the elder son of King Augeas of Elis and father of Meges by Eustyoche,[2] Hagnete[3] Ctimene,[4] or Ctesimache.[5] Timandra, a daughter of King Tyndareus of Sparta, committed adultery with Phyleus (another possible mother of Meges) and deserted her husband Echemus.[6]

Phyleus was also credited to be the father of Eurydameia, mother of Euchenor and Cleitus by Polyidus.[7]
