Pylaemenes
In Greek mythology, Pylaemenes (Ancient Greek: Πυλαιμένης) was the king of the Eneti tribe of Paphlagonia. He claimed to be related to Priam through Phineus, as the latter's daughter Olizone was married to Dardanus.[1] He led his Paphlagonian forces to the Trojan War, as a Trojan ally. Pylaemenes was killed in battle by Menelaus of Sparta.[2] He had a son named Harpalion who was killed by Meriones, son of Molus.[3] Homer provided no parentage for Pylaemenes, but other mythographers name his father as Bilsates[4] or Melius.[5]
