Phylas 
Summary
In Greek mythology, the name Phylas[pronunciation?] (Ancient Greek: Φύλας, gen. Φύλαντος) may refer to:
- Phylas, king of Ephyra, a descendant of Dryopes. Heracles led a war against him and killed him.[1] Phylas had two daughters, Meda and Astyoche; Heracles consorted with both and fathered Antiochus with the former,[2] and Tlepolemus with the latter.[3]
- Phylas, son of Antiochus, thus a great-grandson of the precedent. With Leipephilene, daughter of Iolaus, and Megara, he became father of Hippotes[4] and Thero.[5]
- Phylas, father of Polymele; he raised Eudoros, his daughter's son by Hermes.[6]
