Galaxy/The codex of Pelasgus

Father of Hippothous (`hippothous-pelasgian`) from Larissa — attested by Apollodorus among the Trojan allies, while Homer names the captain son of Pelasgian Lethus instead.1

I

Apollodorus, listing the allies who joined the Trojans after nine years of siege, makes Hippothous son of Pelasgus from Larissa — a parentage that stands beside Homer's Lethus son of Teutamus (`hippothous-pelasgian-parentage`).2

II

He must be kept distinct from Pelasgus king of Arcadia (`pelasgus-arcadia`), the eponym of the Pelasgian race, and from other Pelasgus figures in the genealogies.3
