Magnes (mythology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Magnes was a name attributed to two men.
- Magnes, son of Zeus and Thyia, daughter of Deucalion, or of Aeolus and Enarete, or of Argus, first king of Magnesia, and brother of Makednos. He was the father of Dictys, Polydectes, Pierus, and Eioneus by the unnamed naiad of the fountain, spring or well of the main settlement on the island of Seriphos. She emigrated with two of her sons (Dictys and Polydectes) to Seriphos. By the muse Calliope he was the father of Hymenaios.[1][2]
- Magnes from Zakynthos, one of the suitors of Penelope. He was killed, along with the others, by Odysseus.
