Polydorus

In Greek mythology, Polydorus (/ˌpɒlɪˈdɔːrəs/; Ancient Greek: Πολύδωρος, i.e. "many-gift[ed]") or Polydoros referred to several different people.

• Polydorus, son of Phineus and Cleopatra, and brother of Polydector (Polydectus). These two sons by his first wife were blinded by Phineus because of the instigation of their stepmother, Idaea, who accused them of corrupting her virtue.
• Prince Polydorus, son of the King Cadmus and goddess Harmonia, fathered Labdacus by his wife Nycteis.

• Prince Polydorus, a Trojan, was King Priam's youngest son.
