Agelaus (Slave of Priam)

Agelaus (ancient Greek Ἀγέλαος Agélaos) is a person of Greek mythology.

He is a slave of the Trojan king Priam, who is instructed by his master to abandon his son Paris in the wilderness. He then takes the infant to the Ida Mountains and leaves him there. When he returns there after five days, he sees Paris being suckled by a bear and doing well. He then takes the child with him, gives him his name Paris and raises him like his own son in the field.[1]
