InGreek mythology,Euneus (Ancient Greek: Εὔνηος) was a son ofJason and QueenHypsipyle ofLemnos;^[1] he had a twin brother whose name is variously given asNebrophonus,^[2]Thoas^[3] orDeipylus.^[4]

The children were separated from their mother after she was exiled from the island for having spared her own fatherThoas. Later, the brothers participated in the funeral games ofOpheltes (Archemorus), for whose death Hypsipyle was responsible.^[5][6]

Euneus later became King of Lemnos. According toHomer, the Greek fleet on its way toTroy, in the generation after theArgo quest, was reprovisioned and victualled at Euneus' orders.^[7] He ransomedLycaon, a Trojan prisoner, fromPatroclus for a silver urn which had been once offered as a gift to his grandfatherThoas, the king ofLemnos, by thePhoenicians.^[8]

The Euneidae, a Lemnian clan ofcithara-players, regarded Euneus as their ancestor.^[9][10]
