Editing Polyidus (son of Coeranus) (section)

==Family==
Polyidus was a descendant of another renowned seer, [[Melampus]], king of Argos. Given that Melampus had two sons, [[Abas (mythology)|Abas]] and [[Mantius]], different sources made Coeranus, father of Polyidus, son or grandson of either of the two. Briefly, the two alternate lineages were:

# Melampus– Abas– Coeranus– Polyidus<ref name="Pausanias">[[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], 1.43.5</ref>
# Melampus– Mantius– [[Cleitus (mythology)|Cleitus]]– Coeranus– Polyidus<ref name="Scholia on Homer">[[Pherecydes of Athens|Pherecydes]] in [[Scholia]] ad [[Homer]], ''[[Iliad]]'' [https://archive.org/details/scholiagraecain01homegoog/page/46/mode/1up?view=theater 13.663]</ref>

According to a [[scholia]]st on [[Homer]]'s ''[[Iliad]]'', Polyidus had two sons, [[Euchenor]] and [[Cleitus (mythology)|Cleitus]], by [[Eurydameia]], daughter of [[Phyleus]].<ref name="Scholia on Homer" /> [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]] makes Polyeidus the father of Coeranus, [[Manto (mythology)|Manto]] and [[Astycrateia]], and calls Euchenor his grandson through Coeranus.<ref name="Pausanias" />
