< Bisaltes, son of Mygdon >

1 Origin

Bisaltes was born in the Mysia of Olympene in 1280 BC.

Rhesus, the son of Eioneus (or Eion), the son of Bisaltes, appears in the story of the Troy expedition. [Home.Il.10.435]

Therefore, Bisaltes is presumed to be a descendant of Mygdon, who migrated from Mysia to Thracia with the Teucrians. [Diod.5.64.4, Herod.5.12-15, Herod.7.20]

A genealogy shows that Mygdon was one generation before Bisaltes, and Bisaltes' father is likely to be Mygdon.

2 Family

Bisaltes had a daughter, Theophane. [Hyginus.188]

3 Others

In 1244 BC, Bisaltes migrated from Mysia to Paeonia with his father. [See Mygdon]
