Mariandynus

In Greek mythology, Mariandynus (/ˌmæriænˈdaɪnəs/; Ancient Greek: Μαριανδυνός) was the eponymous hero of the Mariandyni tribe in Northern Anatolia. He was an Aeolian[1], a son of either Cimmerius[2], or Phrixus[3], or Phineus (and in the latter case, brother of Thynus)[4]. He had several sons, of whom the eldest may have been Titias.[5]

Mariandynus was also the name of his grandson through Titias, who was credited with composing a mourning song in honor of his brother Priolaus, killed in a battle against the Bebrycians.[6]
