InGreek mythology, Pharis[pronunciation?] (Ancient Greek: Φᾶρις, romanized: Pháris) was the son of Hermes and the Danaid Phylodámeia (Φυλοδάμεια), and founder of PharaeinMessene.
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]
