Agela'us

3. A slave of Priam, who exposed the infant Paris on mount Ida, in consequence of a dream of his mother. When, after the lapse of five days, the slave found the infant still alive and suckled by a bear, he took him to his own house and brought him up. (Apollod. 3.12.4; compare PAIRS.）

There are several other mythical personages of the name of Agelaus, concerning whom no particulars are known. (Apollod. 2.8.5; Antonin, Lib. 2; Hom. Il. 8.257, 11.302; Paus. 8.35.7.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
