InGreek mythology, the nameGuneus orGouneus (/ˈɡjuːniːəs/;Ancient Greek: Γουνεὐς derived fromgounos "fruitful land") may refer to:
- Guneus, a man fromPheneus and father ofLaonome, wife ofAlcaeus.[1] Through his daughter, he was the grandfather ofAmphitryon,Anaxo andPerimede.
- Guneus, leader of theAenianes andPerrhaebians during theTrojan War. According toHomer, "Guneus brought two and twenty ships fromCyphus, and he was followed by the Enienes and the valiant Peraebi, who dwelt about wintryDodona."[2][AI-generated source?] Guneus survived the war, and went toLibya where he settled near theCinyps River.[3][AI-generated source?] Guneus was an obscure character, though his tribal followers (Aenienians and Perrhaebians) are usually placed in northwesternGreece. Homer does not record his pedigree, but elsewhere his parents were calledOcytus[4] andAurophyte[5] orTauropoleia (orHippodameia).[6] In a rare account, his father was calledCyphos, the eponym ofCyphus, with no mention of a mother.[7][AI-generated source?]
