In Greek mythology, Odius (Ancient Greek: Ὀδίος or Ὀδίον) may refer to the following personages:

Odius, leader of the Alizonians from Alybe (Chalybes^[1] or Alope^[2]) together with his brother Epistrophus.^[3] They were children of Mecisteus. Agamemnon thrust Odius from his chariot and killed him with a spear which was fixed in his back between the shoulders. The lance was driven through his breast by the Mycenaean king causing Odius to fell with a thud and his armour clanged.^[4]
