Pylaemenes
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In Greek mythology, Pylaemenes 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]
