Dascylus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, King Dascylus or Daskylos of Mysia or Mariandyne was the father of Lycus. One account says that Dascylus was a son of Tantalus. He is presumably the eponym of the coastal city of Dascylium.

Another Dascylus or Daskylos was a son of Lycus, and grandson of the above Dascylus or Daskylos. He acted as a guide to the Argonauts.

A third Dascylus or Daskylos, a Lydian Nobleman, was said to be the father of the semi-historical figure Gyges of Lydia.
