- Phylas, king of Ephyra, a descendant of Dryopes. Heracles led a war against him and killed him.[1] Phylas had two daughters, Meda and Astyoche; Heracles consorted with both and fathered Antiochus with the former,[2] and Tlepolemus with the latter.[3]
- Phylas, son of Antiochus, thus a great-grandson of the precedent. With Thero.[5]
