  • Ilioneus, one of the Niobids.[1]
  • Ilioneus, a Trojan elder, who implored Diomedes to spare him, but was killed nevertheless.[2]
  • Ilioneus, a Trojan prince as the illegitimate son of King Priam of Troy by an unknown woman. He and his brother Philenor were killed by Ajax, the son of Oileus.[3]
  • Ilioneus, a Trojan, only son of Phorbas, was killed by Peneleos.[4]
  • Ilioneus, a companion of Aeneas. He was one of those whose ships sank during the storm in which Aeneas and his people were caught.[5] Being the eldest of the Trojan survivors with Aeneas, he was the first to speak to Dido when they entered her palace at Carthage.[6]
