In Greek mythology, Agelaus, or Ageláos was a suitor of Penelope, killed by Odysseus. He was the son of Damastor.

Odyssey, XXII, 131, 212, 247.

In another myth, Agelaus was a herdsman who saved the life of the Trojan prince Paris, exposed as an infant on Mount Ida, owing to a prophecy that he would be the reason for the destruction of Troy.
