Neonus
# Neonus

In Greek mythology, Neonus (Ancient Greek: Νεώνου) was a Phthian prince as the son of King Hellen of Thessaly, the son of Deucalion, the Hellenic progenitor. His mother was possibly the nymph Orseis (Othreis), and thus probably the brother to Aeolus, Dorus, Xuthus and Xenopatra. Neonus was the father of Dotus, eponym of Dotium in Thessaly.
