Ilus
3. A son of Mermerus, and grandson of Jason and Medeia. He lived at Ephyra, between Elis and Olympia; and when Odysseus came to him to fetch the poison for his arrows, Ilus refused it, from fear of the vengeance of the Gods. (Hom. Od. 1.259, 2.328; Eustath. ad Hom. p. 1415, &c.; Strab. viii. p.338.)
