Euneus
(
*Eu)/nhos or
Εὔνευς), a son of Jason by Hypsipyle, in the island of Lemnos, from whence he supplied the Greeks during their war against Troy with wine.
He purchased Lycaon, a Trojan prisoner, of Patroclus for a silver urn. (
Hom. Il. 7.468,
23.741, &c.;
Strab. i. p.41.) The Euneidae, a famous family of cithara-players in Lemnos, traced their origin to Euneus. (
Eustath. ad Hom. p. 1327; Hesych.
s. v. Εὐνεῖδαι.)
