Adrastus (mythology)

Adrastus (Ἄδραστος) refers to several individuals in Greek mythology:


 * Adrastus was the son of Merops, the king of Percote, and brother to Amphius. Along with Amphius, he led a military force from Adrastea, Apaesus, Pityeia and Tereia to the Trojan War (despite the entreaties of their father, a seer, who could foresee that death awaited them on the battlefield). Sure enough, Adrastus was slain by King Agamemnon.
 * Adrastus, father of Eurydice, the wife of King Ilus of Troy. He is otherwise unknown, but the Hellespont town or city of Adrastea may be named after him.
 * Adrastus, son of Polynices and Argea, daughter of Adrastus. He was a leader of the Mycenaeans during the Trojan War and was also counted as one of the Epigoni.
