Poeas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Poeas, or Poias can refer to either of two people:

• One of the Argonauts and a friend of Heracles. In some sources, he (not Philoctetes) lit Heracles' funeral pyre and thus received his bow and arrows.
• The King of Meliboea in Thessaly. His son was Philoctetes.
