Phylas

In Greek mythology, the name Phylas (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][2] Phylas had two daughters, Meda and Astyoche; Heracles consorted with both and fathered Antiochus with the former,[3][4] and Tlepolemus with the latter.[1]
Phylas, son of Antiochus, thus a great-grandson of the precedent. With Leipephilene, daughter of Iolaus, and Megara, he became father of Hippotes[5] and Thero.[6]
Phylas, father of Polymele; he raised Eudoros, his daughter's son by Hermes.[7]
