Ilus (son of Dardanus)
In Greek mythology, Ilus (/ˈiːloʊs/; Ancient Greek: Ἶλος or Ἴλου Ilos) was a king of Dardania.
Family
Ilus was the eldest son of Dardanus either by Batia, daughter of Teucer, or probably Olizone, daughter of Phineus, and thus the brother of Erichthonius, his successor.[1][2][3] In some accounts, the names of the two sons of Dardanus and Batia were Erichthonius and Zacynthus.[4]
Mythology
After Dardanus died, his heir Ilus succeeded him to the throne. However, after his long reign, he died childless and heirless and thus his brother Erichthonius gained the kingship and became the ancestor of the later Trojans. Homer's Iliad mentions at several points the tomb of Ilus in the middle of the Trojan plain.[5]

gollark: I don't see how educating people on rights and whatever you suggested would fix a problem you claim is caused by people misusing systems.
gollark: Some are worse than others.
gollark: Besides, the growing trends toward unfreedom do not actually seem to be driven by things related to courts.
