Phaenops
In Greek mythology, the name Phaenops (Ancient Greek: Φαῖνοψ, romanized: Phaínops, lit. 'bright-eyed') refers to three characters who are all associated with Troy and the Trojan War:
Phaenops, father of Xanthus and Thoon, who were slain by Diomedes. He was an old man by the time the Trojan War began, and had no other sons and heirs except these two.
