In Greek mythology, Pylaemenes (Ancient Greek: Πυλαιμένης) may refer to two distinct characters:
- Pylaemenes, king of the Eneti tribe of Paphlagonia. He claimed to be related to Priam through Phineus (also a reputed king of Paphlagonia) as the latter's daughter Olizone was married to Dardanus.[1] Pylaemenes led his Paphlagonian forces to the Trojan War, as a Trojan ally. He was killed in battle by Menelaus of Sparta.[2] His son named Harpalion was killed by the Cretan warrior Meriones, son of Molus.[3] Homer provided no parentage for Pylaemenes, but other mythographers named his father as Bilsates[4] or Melius.[5]
- Pylaemenes, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers.[6] He, with the other suitors, was shot dead by Odysseus with the help of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.[7]
