In Greek mythology, Phyleus (; Ancient Greek: Φυλεύς probably derived from φυλή phylē "tribe, clan, race, people") was an Elean prince and one of the Calydonian boar hunters.
== Family == Phyleus was the elder son of King Augeas of Elis and father of Meges by Eustyoche, Hagnete Ctimene, or Ctesimache. Timandra, a daughter of King Tyndareus of Sparta, committed adultery with Phyleus (another possible mother of Meges) and deserted her husband Echemus.
