Doliones in the context of "Corythus"

In Greek mythology, Melia or Melie (Ancient Greek Μελία, Μελίη) was the name of several figures. The name Melia comes from μελία, the ancient Greek word for ash-tree. In the plural, the Meliae were a class of nymphs associated with trees, particularly ash-trees. There were several other nymphs (or possible nymphs) named Melia, not necessarily associated with trees, these include:

• Melia, a Theban cult figure, who was the mother of Tenerus and Ismenus, by Apollo. She was said to be a daughter of Oceanus.
• Melia, mother of Phoroneus and Aegialeus, by her brother Inachus, the Argive river-god. She was also said to be a daughter of Oceanus.
• Melia, an Oceanid and a Bithynian nymph, who was the mother, by Poseidon, of Amycus, king of the Bebryces.
• Melia, the mother by Silenus of Dolion, the eponym of the Doliones. This is according to the third-century BC poet and grammarian Alexander Aetolus, as reported by the late first-century BC-early first-century AD geographer Strabo.
• Melia, the mother by Apollo of Keos, the eponym of the island Keos, according to the third-century BC poet Callimachus.

Two other personages named Melia, are known from scholia citing the fifth-century BC mythographer Pherecydes:

In Greek mythology, Glaucus (/ˈɡlɔːkəs/; Ancient Greek: Γλαῦκος, Glaûkos means "greyish blue" or "bluish green" and "glimmering") was the name of the following figures:

• Glaucus, a sea-god
• Glaucus, son of Sisyphus and a Corinthian king.
• Glaucus, a mythical Lycian captain in the Trojan War.
• Glaucus, son of King Minos of Crete.
• Glaucus, one of the twelve younger Panes, offspring of Pan. He came to join Dionysus in his campaign against India.
• Glaucus, son of Aretus and Laobie. He joined Deriades, along with his father and brothers, against Dionysus in the Indian War.
• Glaucus, husband of Laophonte and father of Leda in some variants of the myth. He may be the same as Glaucus, the son of Sisyphus if hypothetical deduction of genealogy be used.
• Glaucus, one of the Dolionians, a people living in northwestern Asia Minor. He was killed by Jason when the Argonauts came to the country.
• Glaucus, a Trojan prince and one of the sons of King Priam by an unknown woman. He and his brothers, Antiphus, Agavus and Agathon, were all slain by Ajax the Great.
• Glaucus, son of Antenor, one of the Trojan elders, and Theano. He was the brother of Crino, Acamas, Agenor, Antheus, Archelochus, Coön, Demoleon, Eurymachus, Helicaon, Iphidamas, Laodamas, Laodocus, Medon, Polybus and Thersilochus. Glaucus was rescued during the sack of Troy by the intervention of Odysseus and Menelaus.
• Glaucus, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers. He, with the other suitors, was shot dead by Odysseus with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.
• Glaucus, a son of Aepytus.

In Greek mythology and history, Medon (/ˈmiːdən/; Ancient Greek: Μέδων, gen.: Μέδοντος means "lord' or "ruler") is the name of a number of different figures:

• Medon, one of the Tyrrhenian pirates who attempted to enslave Dionysus and were changed into fish or dolphin.
• Medon, a centaur at the wedding of Pirithous and Hippodamia.
• Medon, one of the Dolionians, who was killed by the Argonauts.
• Medon, son of Eteoclus and accordingly a participant in the war of the Epigoni.
• Medon, the son of Pylades and Electra and brother of Strophius.
• Medon, one of the Achaean Leaders and half-brother of Ajax the Lesser. He was the son of Oileus, king of Locris, by Rhene or Alcimache. He lived in Phylace, to where he had to flee after he had killed a relative of his stepmother Eriopis. In the Trojan War, Medon took over Philoctetes' army after the latter was bitten by a snake and left on Lemnos because the wound festered and smelled bad. Medon was killed by Aeneas.
• Medon, a "cunning craftsman" of Cilla, husband of Iphianassa and father of Metalcas and Zechis, of whom the former was slain in the Trojan War by Neoptolemus, and the latter by Teucer.
• Medon, son of Antenor and Theano, thus brother of Crino, Acamas, Agenor, Antheus, Archelochus, Coön, Demoleon, Eurymachus, Glaucus, Helicaon, Iphidamas, Laodamas, Laodocus, Polybus and Thersilochus. Medon was killed by Philoctetes, and later Aeneas met him in the Underworld.
• Medon, the faithful herald of Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey. Following the advice of his son Telemachus, Odysseus spares Medon's life after killing the suitors of Penelope who had been plaguing his halls in his homeland of Ithaca. Medon attempts to return the favor by speaking on behalf of his master, claiming that Odysseus' violence was not unwarranted by the gods.
• Medon, the "cruel" suitor of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers. He, with the other suitors, was slain by Odysseus with the aid of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.
• Medon (Μήδων), a son of Ceisus and grandson of Temenus. He was a king of Argos but his powers were limited to the minimum in favor of the people's self-government.
• Medon, son of Codrus, was the first archon of Athens. He was lame in one foot, which was why his brother Neileus would not let him rule, but the Delphian oracle bestowed the kingdom upon Medon.
