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]
