Thoas

Father of Hypsipyle in ancient Greek mythology, son of Dionysus

In Greek mythology, Thoas was a son of the god Dionysus and Ariadne, the daughter of the Cretan king Minos. He was the king of Lemnos when the Lemnian women decided to kill all the men on the island. He was the only man to survive the massacre, having been saved by his daughter Hypsipyle.

Thoas is read about 55 times a day, in 18 languages.
