Asios Hyrtakides

Asius (Asios) son of Hyrtacus was the leader of the Trojan allies that hailed from the towns of Perkote, Praktion, Sestos, Abydos, and Arisbe, which lay near the river Selleis (Iliad, 2.835-840). These towns were all in the area of the Hellespont, in Troas, Mysia, or the Thracian Chersonese in Europe.

Apollodorus (Epitome 3.34) calls Asius a Phrygian leader. He served in the same company as Helenus and Deiphobus, sons of king Priam. Asius's son Adamas was killed by Meriones. His other son Phaenops came from Abydos in the Troas, and was one of Hector's guest-friends. Asius was killed by King Idomeneus of Crete (13.384ff.).
