In Greek mythology, Phylacus (/ˈfɪləkəs/; Ancient Greek: Φύλακος means "guardian"[1]) was the name of the following figures:
- Phylacus, founder of the city of Phylace, Thessaly.[2] He was the son of Deioneus and Diomede, husband of Clymene[3] (Periclymene), and the father of Iphiclus, Alcimede and possibly Clymenus.[4][5][6] In some accounts, Phylacus was also called the father of Alcimache who became the mother of Ajax the Lesser to Oileus.[7] His children and grandchildren are sometimes referred to by the patronymic Phylacides.[8][9][10] His grandson through Iphiclus was also named Phylacus.[2] In some accounts, his grandsons Protesilaus and Podarces were called his sons by Astyoche.[11]
- Phylacus, a Trojan who was killed by Leitus.[12]
- Phylacus, a hero who had a sanctuary in Delphi. He was one of the four heroes whose ghosts terrified the Gaulish troops that attacked Delphi.[13]
