Ardalus
Ardalus (Ancient Greek: Ἄρδαλος) was in Greek mythology a son of the god Hephaestus who was said to have invented the flute, and to have built a sanctuary of the Muses at Troezen, who derived from him the surname Ardalides or Ardaliotides.
This story is recorded in the works of Pausanias,[1] and in some obscure fragments of Hesychius of Alexandria.[2][3]
