in mythology, a beautiful youth of Phrygia, son of Tros and brother to Ilus; according to Lucian, he was the son of Dardanus. Jupiter was charmed with him; and carrying him away, made him his cupbearer in the room of Hebe. Some say that he caused him to be carried away by an eagle, and others affirm he was himself the ravisher under the form of that bird. He deified this youth; and to comfort his father made a present to him of some of those very swift horses upon which the gods ride.
