Poltys
In Greek mythology , Poltys (Ancient Greek : Πόλτυς) is a mythical king and eponym of the Thracian city of Poltyobria (or Poltymbria ; also called Aenus ),[1] [2] Heracles .[3] Sarpedon are given as sons of the sea-god Poseidon .
Mythology
[ edit ]
Poltys hosted Heracles when the hero came to Aenus; although Poltys welcomed Heracles, Sarpedon did not, and was slain by Heracles on the beach.
In a story related by Plutarch (Morals ), Poltys ruled at the outbreak of the Trojan War , and was solicited both by the Trojan and Greek ambassadors. Poltys advised Paris to restore Helen , promising to give him two beautiful women to replace her. The advice was declined.[4] Homer does not mention Poltys in the Iliad
