Eioneus

In Greek mythology, Eioneus (Ancient Greek: Ἠιονεύς) is a name attributed to the following individuals:

• Eioneus, the Perrhaebian[1] father of Dia,[2][3] see Deioneus.
• Eioneus, the presumed mythological eponym of the Thracian city of Eion. This character was the father of Rhesus, according to Homer.[4] One source[5] identifies him with Strymon, who was more commonly known as father of Rhesus.
• Eioneus, a Greek warrior in the Trojan War who was killed by Hector using a sharp spear which smote his neck.[6]
• Eioneus or Eion, a Trojan warrior who was killed by Neoptolemus.[7]
