In Greek mythology, Hyamus (Ancient Greek: Ὕαμος) was a son of Lycorus.^[1] It was related of him that after the Great Deluge, he became king over a people dwelling around Mount Parnassus, and founded Hyampolis. He was married to Melantheia, a daughter of Deucalion, and had at least two daughters, Celaeno^[2] and Melanis,^[3] of whom either might have been mother of Delphus.
