In Greek mythology, Phineus[1] (/ˈfɪniːəs,ˈfɪn.juːs/; Ancient Greek: Φινεύς, Ancient Greek:[pʰiː.neǔs]) or Phineas, was a king of Salmydessus in Thrace[2] and seer, who appears in accounts of the Argonauts' voyage.[3] Some accounts make him a king in Paphlagonia[4] or in Arcadia.[5]
^The name is occasionally rendered "Phineas" in popular culture, as in the film Jason and the Argonauts. "Phineus" may be associated with the ancient city of Phinea (or Phineopolis) on the Thracian Bosphorus.[citation needed]
