Pharis (mythology)

Pharis had one daughter, Telegone, who consorted with the river god Alpheius and had by him a son Ortilochus (Orsilochus), who in his turn became father of Diocles, and Diocles had twin sons Crethon and Orsilochus, who fought at Troy and were killed by Aeneas.^[1]

Pausanias leaves open the question whether PharaeinAchaea were founded by this Pharis—spelled Pháres (Φάρην) in this particular passage—or by someone else.^[2]
