[1] Phyleus was the elder son of King Augeas of Elis and father of Meges by Eustyoche,[2] Hagnete[3] Ctimene,[4] or Ctesimache.
[5] Timandra, a daughter of King Tyndareus of Sparta, committed adultery with Phyleus (another possible mother of Meges) and deserted her husband Echemus.
[6] Phyleus was also credited to be the father of Eurydameia, mother of Euchenor and Cleitus by Polyidus.
[7] During the fifth labour of Heracles, the hero asked for payment from Augeas not revealing the command of Eurystheus.
But the Elean king knowing the task imposed to the hero, he refused to give him his reward.
