In Greek mythology, Anthas (Ἅνθας), also Anthes (Ἅνθης), was a son of Poseidon and Alcyone, and brother of Hyperes. The brothers were eponymous founders and first kings of the cities Hyperea and Anthea in a region they reigned over; later on these two cities were merged into the historical Troezen.[1]. Anthas was father of at least two sons, Aëtius and Dius[2], of whom Aëtius was the successor to both his father and uncle, and further co-ruled with Pittheus and Troezen[1]. The descendants of Anthas through Aëtius reputedly founded colonies in Caria: Halicarnassus and Myndus[3], and accordingly the people of Halicarnassus were referred to by the poetic epithet Antheades 'descendants of Anthas'[4]. Alternately, Halicarnassus was founded by Anthas himself[5]. Anthas also was the presumed eponym of Anthedon, over which he was said to have reigned[6], and of Anthana in Laconia[7].
