Phylas (Ancient Greek: Φύλας) is king of Ephyra in Thesprotia when Heracles campaigns with the Calydonians against the Thesprotians. Apollodorus says the hero took the city and lay with Phylas' daughter Astyoche, begetting Tlepolemus; Homer remembers the same begetting when he leads Tlepolemus out of Ephyre by the river Selleis.

I.King of Ephyra
Apollodorus places Phylas as king of Ephyra when Heracles marched with the Calydonians against the Thesprotians and captured the city. The hero consorted with the king's daughter Astyoche and became the father of Tlepolemus, later leader of the Rhodians at Troy.
Some accounts also name Meda among Phylas' daughters and associate Heracles with both women; the atlas follows the Apollodoran Astyoche–Tlepolemus line tied to this Thesprotian Ephyra.
II.Homonyms
This atlas entry (phylas-thesprotia) is the Thesprotian king. Wikipedia also records Phylas son of Antiochus — a great-grandson of the Ephyra king in some stemmata — and Phylas father of Polymele, who raised Eudoros his daughter's son by Hermes (Iliad 16). Those later or Homeric namesakes are not this entry.
