Schedius

Σχέδιυς

(Σχέδιυς).

1. A son of Iphitus by Hippolyte, commanded the Phocians in the war against Troy, along with his brother Epistrophus. (Hom. Il. 2.517, &c.) Apollodorus (3.10.8) calls Epistrophus the father of Schedius. He was slain by Hector (Il. 17.306, &c.; Paus. 10.4.1), and his remains were carried from Troy to Anticyra in Phocis. He was represented in the Lesche at Delphi. (Paus. 10.30.2, 36, in fin.)
