Perieres is a legendary mortal king in Greek mythic genealogies, identified as a son of Aeolus and husband of Gorgophone. He functions primarily as a dynastic ancestor for the royal house associated with Messenia and as a genealogical link between Perseus' descendants and later heroic families.
Perileos (Ancient Greek Περίλεως or Περίλᾱος) is not a single supernatural being but a personal name borne by several distinct mortal characters in Greek mythic and epic tradition. The name appears in genealogical lists and episodic narratives as a son of Icarius, a son of Ancaeus of Samos, a defender of Troy, and (as Perilaus) an alleged inventor of the brazen bull.
Perimede is an onomastic figure in ancient Greek mythic genealogies: a personal name applied to several mortal women (princesses or consorts) whose marriages and offspring connect regional dynasties. The name, etymologically 'very cunning', appears in variant traditions as a Thessalian princess, a consort or mother by the river-god Achelous, and in island or Boeotian genealogical lists.
Perimela (Perimele) is a name applied to multiple mortal women in Greek mythic genealogies and transformation tales; one tradition records a Perimela beloved by the river-god Achelous who is cast from a cliff and transformed by Poseidon into an island of the Echinades.
Perimele (Ancient Greek: Περιμήλη) is a name borne by multiple women in Greek myth. The best‑attested Perimele is a mortal daughter of Hippodamas who was loved by the river/sea god Achelous; after her father cast her from a cliff she was kept afloat by Achelous and ultimately transformed by Poseidon into an island of the Echinades. Other mythic women named Perimele appear in genealogical traditions.
Periopis (Ancient Greek: Περίωπις) is a minor figure in Greek mythographic genealogies, recorded as a princess of Pherae and daughter of King Pheres, with her mother possibly named as Periclymene. She is attested only as a genealogical node in classical compilations and modern summaries of those sources.
Periphas is an Ancient Greek personal name borne by multiple distinct mythological figures (kings, princes, warriors, companions, suitors, heralds) rather than a single, unified supernatural entity. Bearers of the name appear across diverse Greek mythic contexts — Attica, genealogical traditions, the Trojan War, Dionysus’ Indian War, and the Danaid narratives — with one notable tale of an Attic king transformed by Zeus into an eagle.
Peristhenes (Ancient Greek: Περισθένης, lit. "exceeding strong") is a proper personal name attested in ancient Greek mythic genealogies. The name belongs to at least two mortal figures in mythic tradition: an Egyptian prince, son of Aegyptus, and a son of Damastor who is ancestor to Dictys and Polydectes of Seriphos.
Pero (Ancient Greek: Περώ, romanized Pero) is a mortal princess of Pylos in Greek mythic genealogies, identified as a daughter of King Neleus and Chloris and the wife of her cousin Bias. She appears in classical mythic lineage lists rather than as an independently narrated supernatural actor.
Perse (also Persa or Perseis) is attested in the provided sources as an Oceanid in Greek mythology, named as a consort of the sun-god Helios. The available material gives only genealogical placement and name variants; no detailed narratives, descriptions, or ritual traditions for this figure are supplied in the cited texts.
Persephone is an ancient Greek goddess, daughter of Zeus and Demeter, who functions as both queen of the underworld and as the vegetation/spring deity Kore; her abduction by Hades and cyclical return symbolize the seasonal cycle of growth, decline, and renewal of crops and serve as the central narrative of the Eleusinian Mysteries.
Perseus is a legendary hero of ancient Greek myth, a mortal son of Zeus and Danaë famed as a slayer of monsters and founder of the Perseid dynasty; his narrative emphasizes divine intervention (gifts from Hermes, Athena, and Hades), heroic cunning, and eventual placement among the stars as a constellation.
Perseus of Pylos (Ancient Greek: Περσεύς) is a mortal prince of Pylos attested in Homeric epic and later mythographic summaries. He appears in the domestic and sacrificial tableau of Nestor's household and is listed among Nestor's children in genealogical accounts.
Peteus (Ancient Greek Πετεώς / Πέτης) is a mytho-historical Athenian princely figure attested in classical genealogical and local-foundation traditions. He is presented as a son of Orneus, grandson of Erechtheus, and father of Menestheus; traditions recount his exile from Attica to Phocis (with possible association to the foundation or settlement of Stiris) and a variant tradition claiming an Egyptian origin.
The Phaeacians are the inhabitants of the mythic island Scheria (Phaeacia) in Homeric tradition, depicted as a hospitable, seafaring people who receive Odysseus near the end of his wanderings and provide him passage home. In the Odyssey they occupy a liminal, utopian-like society visited openly by gods and characterized by courtly entertainments, skilled shipcraft, and formal hospitality (xenia).
Phaedra is a mythological human figure from ancient Greek tradition: a Cretan princess, daughter of Minos and Pasiphaë, and wife of Theseus. Best known from tragic treatments in antiquity and later European literature and music, her story centers on passion, familial entanglement, and tragic consequence rather than supernatural agency.
Phaeno (Ancient Greek: Φαινώ, Phainô) is attested in classical sources as one of the 3,000 Oceanids, daughters of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys, and listed as a companion of Persephone. The name also designates a modern science centre in Wolfsburg, Germany (Phæno), but in a folklore context the relevant referent is the Oceanid listed in mythological catalogues.
Phaethon (Ancient Greek: Φαέθων, "radiant") is a mythic youth of Greek tradition, usually described as the son of the sun‑god Helios and the Oceanid Clymene, who borrows his father's sun‑chariot for a single day, loses control, produces cosmic disorder (scorching and freezing of the earth), and is killed by Zeus' thunderbolt; his death and his sisters' mourning supply etiologies for amber and other natural phenomena.
Phalerus (Ancient Greek Φάληρος / Φαληρεὺς) is a named mortal figure in Greek mythic tradition attested in multiple genealogical and epic lists. Different sources enumerate persons called Phalerus or Phalereus as an Argonaut, a Lapith at the Centauromachy, a Spartan son of Icarius, and a Trojan warrior slain by Neoptolemus; these appear as distinct but name-sharing mortal characters rather than a single supernatural being.
Phantes (Ancient Greek Φάντης, 'visible') is a named figure in Greek mythic genealogies, identified as a son of King Aegyptus who married the Danaid Theano and was slain on his wedding night. He appears in classical lists of the Aegyptid princes and is otherwise absent from cultic or ritual records.
Phartis is a named daughter of Danaus in Greek mythic genealogies, attested as one of the Danaids and recorded as the wife of an Aegyptid named Eurydamas. One source specifies her mother as an Ethiopian woman. Sources provide only brief genealogical notice and no narrative detail about her actions.
Phellus is an ancient Lycian hilltop town known from classical sources and archaeology rather than a supernatural being. The site, called Φέλλος (Phellos) in Ancient Greek and recorded in Lycian as Wehnti/Vehinda, preserves substantial funerary architecture, sarcophagi, and city walls and served as a regional inland centre in classical and Byzantine periods.
Pheres is a mythic genealogical figure in ancient Greek tradition, named as the son of Cretheus and Tyro, brother of Aeson and Amythaon, founder of the city Pherae in Thessaly, and father of Admetus and Lycurgus. He functions as an eponymous ancestral founder whose placement in genealogies links local ruling houses to wider heroic cycles such as the Argonauts and the Alcestis/Admetus narratives.
Phereus (Ancient Greek: Φηρεύς) is an anthroponym attested across multiple independent figures in Greek mythic narratives rather than a single, uniform supernatural entity. The name appears for a satyr leader in Dionysus's Indian campaign, for one of the Niobid children of Amphion and Niobe, for a Calydonian prince (also called Pheres or Thyreus) son of Oeneus and Althaea, and for an Achaean warrior at Troy.
Phidippus (also spelled Pheidippus in some sources) is attested in ancient Greek mythic genealogies as a son of Thessalus and Chalciope and brother of Antiphus and Nesson. The available sources record only his place in a lineage and do not provide myths, attributes, cultic role, appearance, or powers.
Philammon (Ancient Greek: Φιλάμμων) is a legendary mortal musician in Greek myth, described as a son of Apollo and credited with composing and instituting sacred hymns and choral performance practices (notably at Delphi). He functions as a culture-hero in genealogies of singers rather than as an autonomous supernatural antagonist.
A mortal Greek hero and famed archer, son of Poeas, who inherits Heracles’ bow and arrows; abandoned because of a festering, foul-smelling wound and later recalled because possession of Heracles’ weapons is prophesied as necessary for Greek victory at Troy. His story appears across epic and tragic traditions (Homeric cycle references; Sophocles’ Philoctetes) and explores themes of suffering, divine causation, healing, and communal obligation.
Philoetius is a mortal cowherd and loyal servant in Homer's Odyssey who tends Odysseus's cattle on Ithaca. In the narrative he exemplifies household fidelity: he brings livestock to the palace, follows Odysseus's orders to secure the hall, hides the suitors' weapons, fights in the slaughter, and is promised freedom and reward for his loyalty.
Philomache (Ancient Greek: Φυλομάχη), also spelled Phylomache, is a mythological mortal woman appearing in classical Greek genealogical traditions as a Minyan princess of Orchomenus who in some accounts is named as the wife of Pelias of Iolcus and mother of Acastus and several daughters. She functions as a dynastic link in heroic-age family networks rather than as a supernatural being.
Philomela is a mythic mortal woman in Greek tradition who, after being raped and mutilated by Tereus, communicates her crime by weaving a cloth and is ultimately transformed by the gods into a bird; her story functions chiefly as a literary and etiological motif (speech and silence, lament, and metamorphosis). The name Philomela is also attested in some mythographic lists as a different genealogical figure (a mother of Patroclus) in a separate, limited attestation.
Philonis (Ancient Greek: Φιλωνίς) is a mythic mortal woman from Greek genealogical tradition, variously identified as daughter of Daedalion or of Eosphoros and Cleoboea (and in some accounts as daughter of Deion of Phocus). She is named as the mother of Philammon by Apollo and Autolycus by Hermes and is sometimes equated with figures called Chione, Leuconoe, or Telauge in alternate traditions.
Philyra is a homonymous name attested in several registers: as the name of multiple female figures in Greek mythology (an Oceanid mother of Chiron; a named wife of Nauplius; a daughter of Asopus and mother of Hypseus), as a Linnaean genus name applied to decapod crustaceans (e.g., Philyra globosa), and as a modern cultural reference used as an EP/album title in Mountain Goats setlists. The provided sources do not support treating Philyra as a single folkloric supernatural entity.
Phineus is a legendary Greek seer-king of the heroic age: a mortal prophet granted the gift of divination who is tormented (notably by Harpies) and appears in Argonautica-type narratives to counsel heroes such as the Argonauts. His parentage and fate vary across traditions, which attribute his blinding, harassment, and later partial restoration to different divine or heroic agents.
A named river of the Greek underworld traditionally described as a flaming or fire-associated stream; later literary traditions (notably Virgil and Dante) reuse the name with varied imagery such as a river of boiling blood in Dante's Inferno.
Phlegyas is, in the provided source, a figure of Greek mythology identified as a king of the Lapiths. The material treats him as an individual human ruler within mythic genealogies rather than as a class of supernatural beings.
Phocus (Ancient Greek: Φῶκος, 'seal') is a personal name borne by multiple distinct heroic figures in ancient Greek myth. The various Phoci appear in genealogies and heroic catalogues as eponyms, ancestors, and occasional members of heroic companies rather than as a single supernatural class or cult figure.
Phocus of Aegina is a mythic mortal prince of the Aeacid house, named in classical summaries and genealogies as a son of King Aeacus of Aegina and Psamathe. In the supplied sources he functions as a genealogical and political figure within the heroic-age network of kings rather than as a supernatural being or cultic figure.
Phoebe (Ancient Greek: Φοίβη, 'bright') is a first‑generation Titan in Greek mythology, daughter of Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth). The name Phoebe is also used as an epithet for lunar goddesses (Artemis/Diana, Selene/Luna) and has been recycled in modern taxonomy and nomenclature (a moon of Saturn, plant and animal genera), but these are distinct referents rather than a single supernatural persona.
Phoebus is an epithet historically applied to the Olympian god Apollo. In the supplied sources the name functions primarily as an alternative designation for Apollo, a major Greek deity associated with light, healing, prophecy, music, poetry, and archery; it is also attested in modern secular place- and personal-names.
Phoenix (Greek: Phoinix) is a legendary mortal prince in Greek mythic genealogies, named as a son of King Agenor of Tyre and presented as an eponymous ancestor of the Phoenicians. He functions primarily as a genealogical and ethnographic figure rather than a supernatural bird or deity.
Pholus (Ancient Greek: Φόλος) is a centaur of Greek myth associated with Mount Pelion, described in the provided sources as unusually wise and civilized among centaurs and as a host or friend of Heracles; he is wounded in the centaur-melee that follows Heracles opening a jar of wine and is said in some accounts in this set to die from wounds caused by Heracles' Hydra-poisoned arrows.
Phorbas, son of Lapithes and Orsinome, is a mythic Thessalian prince in Greek tradition who functions as an eponymous ancestor and migrant-founder. He is portrayed in genealogical and local-history accounts as a Thessalian noble who emigrated to Elis and became allied with that region's ruling house; no supernatural powers or cultic warding practices are attested in the provided sources.
Phorbas (also given in some variants as Phorbaceus) is presented in modern summaries as a mythic human prince of the Thessalian Phlegyes who emigrated to Elis in the Peloponnese. He functions in the sources as an eponymous/migratory ancestral figure within the genealogical account of Elis rather than as a supernatural being.
Phorcys (Ancient Greek: Φόρκυς) is a primordial sea deity in Greek myth, presented in Hesiodic genealogy as a son of Pontus and Gaia. Paired with Ceto, he is chiefly noted as the progenitor of a brood of archaic, often monstrous marine and chthonic beings and appears in iconography as a hybrid merman-monster in Hellenistic–Roman art.
Phoroneus is a primordial culture-hero and early king of Argos in Classical Greek tradition. Ancient authors credit him with gathering scattered families into a community, instituting worship (notably of Hera), introducing fire and the forge, founding law, and receiving ongoing cultic veneration at an eternal fire and tomb-sanctuary in Argos.
The personified appearance of the planet Venus as it appears before dawn in ancient Greek usage, named Phōsphoros or Eosphoros — literally 'light-bringer' or 'dawn-bringer' — conceived as the herald of morning and later reinterpreted in medieval Christian reception.
Phrasimus (Ancient Greek: Φράσιμος) is a mortal figure in classical Athenian genealogical tradition, attested as the Athenian husband of Diogenia (daughter of the river-god Cephisus) and father of Praxithea, who married the king Erechtheus. He functions as a genealogical link connecting river-divine descent to the royal house of Athens in mytho-historical accounts.
Phrasius (Ancient Greek: Φράσιος) is a named human figure in Greek myth attested in two principal roles: a son of Neleus of Pylos who is slain when Heracles sacks Pylos, and a Cyprian soothsayer who counsels the Egyptian king Busiris to sacrifice strangers to end a nine-year dearth and is himself the first victim of that prescription.
Phricius is recorded in the available source solely as a centaur of Greek mythology. The attestation consists only of a cataloguing label identifying the figure as a centaur; no narratives, attributes, or cultic details are provided.
Phrixus is a mortal prince in ancient Greek heroic tradition, son of King Athamas and the cloud-goddess Nephele. Rescued from a plotted sacrifice by a divine golden ram, he flees to Colchis, marries King Aeëtes' daughter, sacrifices the ram and gives the Golden Fleece to Aeëtes, thereby linking Boeotian royal lines to Colchis and providing the origin of the fleece that motivates the Argonauts' quest.
Phthia is attested in the supplied sources primarily as a Homeric place-name (a district or city in Thessaly) and not as a named individual. The supplied corpus does record a narrative motif in which Amyntor's mistress falsely accuses Phoenix, but none of the provided texts identify that mistress as 'Phthia.' Therefore the identification 'Phthia (mistress of Amyntor)' is not supported by the available sources.
Phthius of Arcadia is a mythic human figure in Greek tradition attested as an eponymous ancestor and princely founder in variant genealogies. He appears in sources either as one of the many sons of King Lycaon of Arcadia or, in a different tradition, as a son of Larisa and Poseidon and a leader in a colonizing band to Haemonia (Thessaly). No independent cultic rites or supernatural powers are recorded in the supplied sources.
Phylacus (Ancient Greek: Φύλακος, 'guardian') is a name belonging to several mortal figures in Greek mythic genealogies and local cult. Most prominently he is an eponymous founder of Phylace in Thessaly and a hero-ancestor invoked in legendary accounts; in one tradition a hero named Phylacus is said to have a sanctuary at Delphi and to be among the heroic dead who terrified invading Gauls.
Phylas (Ancient Greek Φύλας) is a personal name borne by several mortal male figures in Greek mythic genealogies. Bearers include a king of Ephyra opposed and slain by Heracles, a descendant (son of Antiochus) who fathers Hippotes and Thero with Leipephilene, and a Phylas who is father of Polymele and who raised Eudoros (Polymele’s son by Hermes).
Phyleus (Greek: Φυλεύς) is a mortal Elean prince in Greek mythic genealogies. He is known for testifying on Heracles' behalf in the dispute over the Augean stables, for being exiled by his father Augeas, and for leading a colony of Epeans to the island of Dulichium; he is also father of Meges, leader of the Dulichian contingent at Troy.
Phylonomus (Ancient Greek: Φυλόνομον) is attested in Greek myth as a son of King Electryon and Anaxo and one of the princes of the Perseid lineage; he was killed, together with his brothers, by the sons of Pterelaus in a dispute arising from claims to cattle and ancestral land (tradition represented in Apollodorus and Hesiodic summaries).
Picolous (Ancient Greek Πικόλοος, Pikóloos) is named in late-ancient/Byzantine citations as one of the Gigantes, offspring of Gaia and Uranus. In the preserved tradition he fled the Gigantomachy, came to Aeaea, attempted to attack Circe, and was slain by the sun-god Helios; from his blood the mythic herb moly is said to have sprung.
Pieris is listed in the supplied sources only as “Pieris (mythology), a figure in Greek mythology.” The provided materials contain no further description, narratives, attributes, or contextual information about this figure; it is therefore insufficiently attested in the supplied corpus.
Piras (Ancient Greek: Πειρᾶς) is an Argive king in Greek mythic genealogies, known primarily by name and familial connections rather than by individual deeds or cult. He appears in variant forms (Piren, Peiren, Peirasus, Piranthus) and is attested as a son of Argus and Evadne.
Piren (Ancient Greek Πειρῆνα or Πειρῆνος, lit. 'fasten by the ends') is the name of one or more mortal figures in Greek mythographic genealogies. In the surviving reference material he appears as a king of Argos, father of Io, and separately as a Boeotian prince, son of Glaucus of Potniae, who was accidentally killed by his brother Bellerophon. The sources treat Piren as human personages embedded in heroic family trees rather than as an independent supernatural class.
