Phlias
Phlias (Ancient Greek: Φλίας) or Phlius /ˈflaɪəs/ or Phliasus /ˈflaɪəsəs/ was the son of Dionysus and Chthonophyle in Greek mythology. A native of Araithyrea in Argolis, he is mentioned as one of the Argonauts.[1]
Family
Argonautica Orphica, it is simply stated that his mother was a nymph, without mention of her name.[4] The town of Phlius (formerly called Araithyrea) was believed to have derived its name from him.[5]
