In Greek mythology, Thasus or Thasos (/ˈθeɪsəs/ or /ˈθeɪzəs/; Ancient Greek: Θάσος) was a son of Poseidon[1] (or, in other versions, Agenor,[2] Phoenix[3] or Cilix[4]).
In the stories, he was a Phoenician prince and one of those who set out from Phoenicia in search of Europa (Thasus' sister[3]).
His brother, Cadmus, gave him a part of the army and left him on an island (i.e. Thasos) where he "founded" the eponymous town of Thasos.
