< Phliasus, son of Oenarus >

1 Origin

Phliasus (or Phlias) was born on the island of Naxos in 1269 BC.

Phliasus' father was Oenarus, a priest of Dionysus. [See Ariadne]

Phliasus' mother was Ariadne, daughter of Minos. [Hyginus.14, Paus.2.6.6, Apollo.1.115]

2 Family

Phliasus married Chthonophyle. [Paus.2.6.6]

Chthonophyle was presumably the granddaughter of Chthonophyle, daughter of Sicyon, son of Marathon.

Phliasus and Chthonophyle had a son, Androdamas. [Paus.2.6.6]

3 Others

In 1250 BC, Phliasus and his parents visited Peroponessus from the island of Naxos to spread the Dionysian cult. [Paus.2.23.8, Paus.3.13.7]

Phliasus married Chthonophyle and succeeded the heirless Phlius. [Paus.2.6.6]

Phliasus is presumed to have been connected to the founder of Phlius through his father Oenarus.

Phliasus appears in the story of the expedition of the Argonauts as a participant from Phlius. [Hyginus.14, Apollo.1.115]
