InGreek mythology, the nameToxeus orToxius (Ancient Greek:Τοξεύς,romanized: Toxeús,lit. 'bowman'^[1]) refers to the following individuals:

• Toxius, son ofCaelus (Uranus) who was the inventor of building with clay, it having been suggested to him from swallows' nests.^[2]
• Toxeus, aPleuronian prince as the son of KingThestius and thus, brother ofAlthaea. He participated in the hunt for theCalydonian Boar but was angry that the prize of the boar's hide had been given to a woman (Atalanta) by his nephewMeleager, who then killed him in the ensuing argument.^[3]
• Toxeus, aCalydonian prince as the son of KingOeneus and Althaea (which makes him a nephew of the above Toxeus).^[4] He was the brother ofMeleager,Clymenus,Periphas,Agelaus (orAgeleus),Thyreus (or Phereus orPheres),Deianeira,Gorge,Eurymede andMelanippe.^[5] Toxeus was killed by his father for leaping over the trench which had been dug aroundCalydon.^[6][7] (This is paralleled byRemus overleaping that ofRōmulus.^[8] Cf. also the story ofPoemander).
• Toxeus, anOechalian prince as son of KingEurytus andAntiope^[9] orAntioche^[10] and brother ofClytius andMolion. All three were slain byHeracles.^[11] His other siblings wereIole,Deioneus,Didaeon andIphitos.
