Borus
In Greek mythology, the name Borus (Ancient Greek: Βῶρος) may refer to:
- Borus, son of Perieres, who married Polydora, daughter of Peleus and Antigone.[1][2]
- Borus, a descendant of Nestor. More precisely, he was either a son of Penthilus and grandson of Periclymenus, or son of Periclymenus and father of Penthilus by Lysidice.[3] Through Andropompus, his son or grandson, he was the grandfather or great-grandfather of Melanthus who was one of those who expelled Tisamenus from Lacedaemon and Argos.[4]
- Borus of Maeonia, father of Phaestus; his son was killed by Idomeneus in the Trojan War.[5]
