Guneus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Guneus was the leader of the Aenienians and Perrhaebians during the Trojan War. Says Homer: "Guneus brought two and twenty ships from Cyphus, and he was followed by the Enienes and the valiant Peraebi, who dwelt about wintry Dodona." Guneus survived the war, and went to Libya and settled near the Cinyps river. Guneus was an obscure character, though his tribal followers (Aenienians and Perrhaebians) are usually placed in northwestern Greece. Homer does not record his pedigree, but elsewhere his father was said to be Ocytus, otherwise unknown [Apd.Ep.3.11ff.; 6.15].

Another Guneus, again from Greek mythology, was the father of Laonome.
