In Greek mythology, Schedius (Ancient Greek Σχεδίος) son of Iphitus was a Phocian captain at Troy with his brother Epistrophus. Homer's Catalogue gives the brothers forty ships from Cyparissus, Pytho, and the Phocian towns; Schedius falls when Hector's spear, aimed at Ajax, finds him instead. Distinct from Homeric and catalogue namesakes.

I.Phocian command
Schedius and Epistrophus, sons of Iphitus son of Naubolus, lead the Phocians in the Iliad Catalogue. Later tradition counts him among Helen's suitors. Homer once names a Phocian Schedius son of Perimedes slain by Hector; the atlas keeps that parentage dispute on the character's story topic rather than merging two captains.
In the fight for Patroclus, Hector casts at Ajax; the spear misses and strikes Schedius, far the best of the Phocians and king over many men in famous Panopeus. Tradition says both brothers' bones were carried home and buried at Anticyra; Pausanias saw Schedius's image at Delphi.
