In Greek mythology, Strophius (Template:IPAc-en; Ancient Greek: Στρόφιος means "slippery fellow, twister") was the name of the following personages:
- Strophius, son of Crisus, was a King of Phocis, husband of the sister of Agamemnon (whose name was either Anaxibia,[1] Astyocheia[2] or Cydragora[3]) and, by her, father of Pylades and Astydameia. When Orestes was hiding from his murderous mother, Clytemnestra, Strophius hid him.[4] During this time, Orestes and Pylades became great friends.
