👉 Polyphemus (Argonaut) in the context of Elatus
There were several figures named Elatus /ˈɛlətəs/ or Élatos (Ancient Greek: Ἔλατος means "ductile") in Greek mythology.
- Elatus, a son of Arcas by either Leaneira (or Laodameia), Meganeira, Chrysopeleia or Erato and the brother of Apheidas and Azan. He was allotted by Arcas the region of then-nameless Mount Cyllene as his domain, but afterwards migrated to the region which later became known as Phocis, and assisted the local inhabitants in the war against the Phlegyans; he was renowned as founder and eponym of the city Elatea. An image of him was carved on a stele in the marketplace of Elatea. He married Laodice (daughter of Cinyras) and became by her, the father of Stymphalus, Pereus, Aepytus, Ischys, and Cyllen.
- Elatus, a Lapith chieftain of Larissa, Thessaly. He was the father, by Hippeia, of Caeneus, Polyphemus, the seer Ampycus, Ischys who was beloved by Coronis, and a daughter Dotia, possibly the eponym of Dotion (Dotium) in Thessaly (see also Dotis).
- Elatus, a centaur, killed during a battle with Heracles by a poisoned arrow that passed through his arm and continued to wound Chiron in the knee.
- The minor planet 31824 Elatus is named after this figure.
- Elatus or Elaton, a charioteer of Amphiaraus, otherwise known as Baton.
- Elatus, father of Euanippe, who was the mother of Polydorus by Hippomedon.
- Elatus, a son of Icarius and father of Taenarus by Erymede, daughter of Damasiclus. In one account, Taenarus was instead called the child of Icarius with no mention of the birth mother.
- Elatus, an ally of the Trojans from Pedasus, killed by Agamemnon.
- Elatus, one of the suitors of Penelope from Same along with other 22 wooers. He was slain by Emaeus during the assault of Odysseus.

In Greek mythology, the name Laonome (Ancient Greek: Λαονόμη 'law of the people' derived from laos "people" and nomos, "law") may refer to:
- Laonome, daughter of Guneus, possible spouse of Alcaeus and mother of Amphitryon, Anaxo and Perimede. She was a woman of Pheneus where Heracles migrated first and lived with her after he was expelled by Eurystheus. This happened before the hero went to Thebes and later on settled there.
- Laonome, daughter of Amphitryon and Alcmene (thus granddaughter of the precedent), sister of Iphicles and half-sister of Heracles. She married an Argonaut, either Euphemus or Polyphemus.

Polyphemus (Argonaut) in the context of Antiphus
In Greek mythology, Antiphus or Ántiphos (/ˈæntəfəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄντιφος) is a name attributed to multiple individuals:
- Antiphus, a Phthian prince as the son of King Myrmidon and Peisidice, and brother of Actor. He may be the same with Antippus, the father of Hippea who became the mother of Polyphemus, Caeneus and Ischys by Elatus, king of the Lapiths.
- Antiphus, the Thespian son of Heracles and Laothoe, daughter of King Thespius of Thespiae. Antiphus and his 49 half-brothers were born of Thespius' daughters who were impregnated by Heracles in one night, for a week or in the course of 50 days while hunting for the Cithaeronian lion. Later on, the hero sent a message to Thespius to keep seven of these sons and send three of them in Thebes while the remaining forty, joined by Iolaus, were dispatched to the island of Sardinia to found a colony.
- Antiphus, a defender of Thebes in the war of the Seven against Thebes who was killed by Amphiaraus and Apollo.
- Antiphus, son of Thessalus, the son of Heracles, and Chalciope. With his brother Pheidippus, Antiphus lead the forces of Calydnae, Cos, Carpathus, Casus and Nisyrus on the side of the Greeks against Troy. He was also believed to have invaded a region of Greece that he named Thessaly after his father.
- Antiphus, a Trojan prince as one of the 50 sons of King Priam and son of Hecuba. During the Trojan War, he killed Leucus, and later was killed by Agamemnon. In another account, Antiphus and his brothers, Agavus, Agathon, and Glaucus, were all slain by Ajax, son of Telamon.
- Antiphus of Maeonia, son of Talaemenes and brother of Mesthles; both he and his brother were allies of Priam in the Trojan War.
- Antiphus, son of Aegyptius and brother of Eurynomus. He was a Greek commander who sailed from Troy with Odysseus. Having previously escaped death at the hand of Eurypylus (son of Telephus), Antiphos was devoured by Polyphemus.
- Antiphus, an old friend of the house of Odysseus.
The name Antiphus is not to be confused with Antiphōs (Ἀντίφως), which refers to a soldier in the army of the Seven against Thebes who killed Chromis but was himself killed by Hypseus.
