Eleius
In Greek mythology, the name Eleius may refer to:
- Son of Poseidon and Eurycyda. When Aetolus, his maternal uncle, was sent into exile, Eleius became king of the Epeans (who had received their original name from his other uncle, Epeius) and renamed his people the Eleans after himself, and the land was accordingly named Elis. He had a son Augeas.[1]
- Son of Tantalus and another possible eponym of Elis.[3]
