Template:Short description Script error: No such module "about".
In Greek mythology, Polyxenus or Polyxeinus Template:IPAc-en (Template:Langx, Poluxenos, or Script error: No such module "Lang"., Poluxeinos) is a name that may refer to:
- Polyxenus, one of the first priests of Demeter and one of the first to learn the secrets of the Eleusinian Mysteries.[1]
- Polyxenus, son of Agasthenes and Peloris, king of Elis. He was counted among the suitors of Helen,[2] and accordingly participated in the Trojan War, having brought 40 ships with him.[3] He returned home safely after the war, and had a son Amphimachus, whom he possibly named after his friend Amphimachus (son of Cteatus), who had died at Troy.[4]
- Polyxenus, king of Elis, was said to have been entrusted with the stolen cattle by the Taphians under Pterelaus; the cattle was ransomed from him by Amphitryon.[5] This Polyxenus, however, appears to be a figure distinct from Polyxenus, son of Agasthenes, since he lived two generations before the Trojan War.
- Polyxenus, also called Medus, son of the hero Jason and the Colchian sorceress Medea,[6] the daughter of King Aeëtes. He was the brother of Eriopis.[7]
