Bias (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Bias (/ˈbaɪ.əs/; Ancient Greek: Βίας) may refer to the following characters:
- Bias, probably son of Lelex, king of Laconia and the naiad Cleocharia.[1] He was killed by his nephew Pylas, a Megarian king and son of his brother Cteson. After the murder, Pylas gave the kingdom to the deposed king of Athens, Pandion and later founded the city of Pylos in Peloponnesus.[2]
- Bias, son of Amythaon and brother of Melampus.[3]
- Bias, son of Melampus and Iphianira thus a nephew of the earlier Bias.[4] But his name has been proposed to read "Abas", another son of Melampus.[5][5]
- Bias, one of the sons of King Priam of Troy by other women. He was the father of Laogonus and Dardanus.[6]
- Bias, one of the Suitors of Penelope from Dulichium.[7]
