Elleno
Elleno nella
mitologia greca era il figlio di
Deucalione e
Pirra (o secondo altre versioni figlio di
Zeus). Re di Phthia (in
Tessaglia) è l'eroe
eponimo degli
Elleni.Secondo il mito Elleno avrebbe infatti sposato la
ninfa Orseide; i loro figli sarebbero diventati quindi i capostipiti di tutte le tribù greche:
Ioni, i figli di
Ione o di
Io,
Eoli, i figli di
Eolo,
Achei, detti anche Danai, i figli di
Danao o di
Acheo. Anche i
Dori, che pare non fossero di stirpe ellenica, vollero legittimarsi rendendo
Doro, il loro padre
eponimo, il quarto e ultimo figlio di Elleno.
