< Pyttius, son of Actor >

1 Origin

In 1307 BC, Pyttius was born in Phthia in Thessaly.

Pyttius' father is not mentioned in the legends.

However, Automedon, the son of Diores, son of Amarynceus, son of Pyttius, is said to have participated in the expedition to Troy and served as a charioteer of Achilles. 

In other words, Automedon was one of the Myrmidons, and Pyttius was also related to the lineage of the Myrmidons and was presumably the son of Actor.

2 Family

Pyttius had a son, Amarynceus.

In 1243 BC, Amarynceus was appointed general by King Augeas of Elis when Heracles attacked Elis.

3 Others

In 1280 BC, Pyttius moved to the area near Salmone in Eleia and founded Buprasium.

Salmone was founded in 1335 BC by Salmoneus, son of Aeolus, who moved from Arne near Phthia.
