Dardanus (son Of Zeus)
In Greek mythology, Dardanus (; Ancient Greek: Δάρδανος, ''Dardanos'') was the founder of the city of Dardanus at the foot of Mount Ida in the Troad. Dardanus, a son of Zeus and the Pleiad Electra, was a significant figure in Greek mythology. He was the brother of Iasion and sometimes of Harmonia and Emathion. Originally from Arcadia, Dardanus married Chryse, with whom he fathered two sons, Idaeus and Deimas. After a great flood, Dardanus and his people settled on the island of Samothrace before eventually moving to Asia Minor due to the land's poor quality. In Virgil's ''Aeneid'', Dardanus is said to have originally come from Italy, where his mother Electra was married to Corythus, the king of Tarquinia. Dardanus later married Batea, the daughter of King Teucer, and founded the city of Dardanus on Mount Ida, which became the capital of his kingdom. He also founded the city of Thymbra and expanded his kingdom by waging successful wars against his neighbors. Dardanu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dardanus (mythological King)
In Greek mythology, Dardanus (; , ''Dardanos'') was a Scythian king, who was the father of Idaea, the second wife of Phineus, the king of Salmydessus in Thrace. After Idaea falsely accused Phineus' sons by his first wife, she was sent back to Dardanus, where he condemned her to death. The father of Phineus's wife Idaea, has sometimes been confused with, or considered to be the same as the Dardanus who was the son of Zeus and Electra, and ancestor of the Trojans.Both Smiths.v. Dardanusand Grimal, s.v. Dardanus, consider the son of Zeus and the father of Idaea to be the same, however the modern scholarly consensus seems to consider the two as distinct, see for example: Tripp, s.v. Dardanus 1, 2 p. 190; Hazels.v. Dardanus 1, 2 p. 164 Parada, s.v. Dardanus 1, 2 p. 60; Gentilip. 20 n. 42 Notes References * Apollodorus, ''Apollodorus, The Library, with an English Translation by Sir James George Frazer, F.B.A., F.R.S. in 2 Volumes.''

Illyrius
Illyrius (, ''Illyriós'') is the son of Cadmus and Harmonia, who eventually ruled Illyria and became the eponymous ancestor of the Illyrians. Illyrius/Illyriós/Illyri is a name known in different stories found in ancient Greek mythology. Etymology In Greek mythology, the name of Illyria is aetiologically traced to Illyrius, the son of Cadmus and Harmonia, who eventually ruled Illyria and became the eponymous ancestor of the Illyrians. A later version of the myth identifies Polyphemus and Galatea as parents of Celtus, Galas, and Illyrius. Ancient Greek writers used the name "Illyrian" to describe peoples between the Liburnians and Epirus. Fourth-century BC Greek writers clearly separated the people along the Adriatic coast from the Illyrians, and only in the 1st century AD was "Illyrian" used as a general term for all the peoples across the Adriatic. Writers also spoke of "Illyrians in the strict sense of the word"; Pomponius Mela (43 AD) the ''stricto sensu'' Illyrian ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sophalexios
In Greek mythology, Sophalexios (“skilled defender”) was the son of Jason, leader of the Argonauts, and Creusa, the daughter of Creon, king of Corinth. Mythology As Jason was still married to Medea, daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis, when Sophalexios was born, Sophalexios’ true parentage was kept secret for fear that Medea would kill the infant Sophalexios. Jason later married Creusa which angered Medea. As revenge, Medea presented Creusa with a cursed dress that burned both Creusa and her father, King Creon of Corinth, to death. After her revenge, Medea fled Corinth without ever knowing of Jason and Creusa's son. Sophalexios remained in Corinth where he later learned of his background. Agamemnon, king of Mycenae, never recognised Sophalexios as Creon's heir and so claimed to be king of Corinth himself. Sophalexios never realised Agamemnon as king of Corinth. Sophalexios grew into a fine, young soldier, often proving his skill, courage and leadership in battle. He becam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
