InGreek mythology,Dymas (Ancient Greek:Δύμας,romanized: Dýmas) was aPhrygian king.

The father of Dymas was given as oneEioneus, son ofProteus, by some ancient mythographers.^[1] According toDictys, he was a descendant ofPhoenix, son ofAgenor, as recounted byHelen toHecuba to prove their kinship.^[2][3] Dymas' wife was called asEunoë^[4] or thenaiadEvagora,^[1] a daughter of the river godSangarius. In fact, Dymas and his Phrygian subjects are closely connected to theRiver Sangarius, which empties into theBlack Sea.

By his wife, Eunoë or Evagora, Dymas was the father ofHecuba (also called Hecabe), wife to KingPriam ofTroy.^[5] King Dymas is also said byHomer to have had a son namedAsius, who fought (and died) during theTrojan War - not to be confused with his namesake,Asius son ofHyrtacus, who also fought (and died) before Troy. The scholiasts credited Dymas with another son, namedOtreus, who fought theAmazons a generation before theTrojan War.^{[citation needed]}

The etymology of the nameDymas is obscure, although it is probably non-Hellenic.
