In Greek mythology, the name Ilioneus may refer to:

  • Ilioneus, one of the Niobids.[1]
  • Ilioneus, a Trojan, an only son of Phorbas, was killed by Peneleos.[2]
  • Ilioneus, a Trojan elder, who implored Diomedes to spare him, but was killed nevertheless.[3]
  • Ilioneus, a companion of Aeneas. He was one of those whose ships sank during the storm in which Aeneas and his people were caught.[4] Being the eldest of the Trojan survivors with Aeneas, he was the first to speak to Dido when they entered her palace at Carthage.[5]
