Dardanus (Greek myth) explained

In Greek mythology, Dardanus (/ˈdɑːrdənəs/; Greek: Δάρδανος, Dardanos) is the name attributed to three distinct individuals:

Dardanus, son of Zeus and Electra, and founder of the city of Dardania, of the tribe of Dardans.^[1]
Dardanus, a Scythian king, and the father of Idaea, the wife of King Phineus.^[2]
Dardanus, a Trojan warrior who defended the city of Ilium during the city's 10-year siege. He was the son of Bias, son of King Priam,^[3] and brother of Laogonus.^[4] Dardanus and his brother were slain by the hero Achilles during the battle. The latter thrust them both from their chariot to the ground, smiting the one with a cast of his spear and the other with his sword in close fight.^[5]
