• Lycus of Athens, a wolf-shaped herο, whose shrine stood by the jurycourt, and the first jurors were named after him.
• Lycus, an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of King Aegyptus. He suffered the same fate as his other brothers, save Lynceus of Argos, when they were slain on their wedding night by their wives who obeyed the command of their father King Danaus of Libya. Lycus was the son of Aegyptus by Argyphia, a woman of royal blood and thus full brother of Lynceus, Proteus, Enceladus, Busiris and Daiphron. In some accounts, he could be a son of Aegyptus either by Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus, or Isaie, daughter of King Agenor of Tyre. Lycus married the Danaid Agave, daughter of Danaus and Europe.
• Lycus, son of Poseidon and Celaeno.
• Lycus, the "loudvoiced" satyr herald of Dionysus during the Indian War. In secret union, Hermes fathered him, Pherespondus and Pronomus, by Iphthime, daughter of Dorus. Eiraphiotes (i.e. Dionysus) entrusted to these three satyr brothers the dignity of 'the staff of their wisdom-fostering father, the herald of heaven'.
• Lycus, son of Arrhetus and Laobie, who, together with his father and brothers, fought under Deriades against Dionysus.
• Lycus, son of Pandion II and brother of King Aegeus of Athens.

• Lycus, son of Dascylus of Mysia or Mariandyne. He was hospitable towards the Argonauts and Heracles, who conquered the land of the Bebryces (Heraclea Pontica). He is apparently identical with the Lycus given as a son of Titias, brother of Priolaus and eponym of a city.

In Greek mythology, Protesilaus (/ˌprɒtɪsɪˈleɪəs/; Ancient Greek: Πρωτεσίλᾱος, romanized: Prōtesilāos) was a hero in the Iliad who was venerated at cult sites in Thessaly and Thrace. Protesilaus was the son of Iphiclus, a "lord of many sheep"; as grandson of the eponymous Phylacos, he was the leader of the Phylaceans. Hyginus surmised that he was originally known as Iolaus—not to be confused with Iolaus, the nephew of Heracles—but was referred to as "Protesilaus" after being the first (πρῶτος, protos) to leap ashore at Troy, and thus the first to die in the war.

The name Astyoche (/əˈstaɪəkiː/; Ancient Greek: Ἀστυόχη means 'possessor of the city') or Astyocheia /ˌæstioʊˈkiːə/ Ancient Greek: Ἀστυόχεια was attributed to the following individuals in Greek mythology:

• Astyoche, naiad daughter of the river god Simoeis, mother of Tros by Erichthonius.
• Astyoche, a Trojan princess as the daughter of King Laomedon by Strymo, Placia or Leucippe, sister of Priam, wife of Telephus and mother of Eurypylus (some call her daughter of Priam and wife of Eurypylus). She was bribed by Priam with a gold vine to persuade Eurypylus to go to the Trojan War, which resulted in him being killed in the battle (cf. the story of Eriphyle). Together with Aethilla and Medesicaste, she was taken captive after the sack of Troy and set fire to the Greek ships during their stay on the Italian coast.
• Astyoche, a Minyan princess as the daughter of King Actor of Orchomenus, son of Azeus. She was the mother of Ascalaphus and Ialmenus with Ares. The latter lay with her in secret when the maiden entered into her upper chamber.
• Astyoche, sister of Agamemnon and Menelaus. She married Strophius, and became the mother of Pylades. She is also known as Anaxibia or Cydragora.

• Eurythemis, daughter of Cleoboea. According to the mythographer Apollodorus, she was the wife of King Thestius of Pleuron and mother of Althaea, Leda, Hypermnestra, Iphiclus, Evippus, Plexippus and Eurypylus.
• Eurythemis, daughter of Acastus, consort of Actor and mother of Ancaeus according to John Tzetzes.

In Greek mythology, Periclymene or Periklymene (Ancient Greek: Περικλύμενη means 'renowned') may refer to two distinct characters:

• Periclymene, a Minyan princess as the daughter of King Minyas of Orchomenus and Euryanassa . She became the mother of Admetus, Lycurgus, Eidomene (wife of Amythaon), Periopis (mother of Patroclus) and Antigona (mother of Asterius), by King Pheres of Pherae. Periclymene or Clymene was also said to have Iphiclus, Alcimede and possibly Clymenus by Phylacus of Phylace. Other sources would identify Iphiclus as her son by Cephalus, son of Deion and brother of Phylacus.
• Periclymene, one of the maenads named in a vase painting.
