Mariandynus

In Greek mythology, Mariandynus (Μαριανδυνός) was the eponymous hero of the Mariandyni tribe in Northern Anatolia. He was an Aeolian,[1] a son of either Cimmerius, or Phrixus, or Phineus (and in the latter case, brother of Thynus).[2] He had several sons, of whom the eldest may have been Titias.[3]

Mariandynus was also the name of his grandson through Titias, who was credited with composing a mourning song in honor of his brother Priolaus, killed in a battle against the Bebrycians.[4]
