From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Deioneus is a name attributed to the following individuals:

• Son of Aeolus, King of Phocis, and father of Cephalus.
• Father-in-law of Ixion to-be, Deioneus was pushed into a bed of flaming coals so that Ixion wouldn't have to pay the bride-price.
• Son of Eurytus the Oechalian.
• Also called Eioneus, and the presumed mythological eponym of the Thracian city of Eion. This character was the father of Rhesus, according to Homer.
