Phylodameia was born in Argos in 1425 BC.

Phylodameia's father was Danaus, son of Belus. [Paus.4.30.2]

2 Family

Phares, who founded Pharae in 1380 BC, south of Aroe in the northwestern Peloponnesus peninsula, was Phylodameia's son. [Paus.7.22.1-5]

Aroe (later Patrae) was founded by Eumelus. [Paus.7.18.2]

Aroe contained the tomb of Aegyptus, son of Belus. [Paus.7.21.13]

From the above, it is assumed that Eumelus was the son of Aegyptus, husband of Phares, and father of Phares. [See Eumelus]

Phylodameia had a son, Phares. [Paus.4.30.2]

Antheias, son of Eumelus, is also thought to be the son of Phylodameia. [Paus.7.18.3]
