Hellen

（Ἕλλην). The mythical ancestor of the Hellenes. He was the son of Zeus and Dorippé, husband of Orseïs, and father of Aeolus, Dorus, and Xunthus. From his two sons, Aeolus and Dorus, the Aeolians and Dorians claimed descent; and from the two sons of Xanthus (Achaeus and Ion) tradition derives the Achaeans and Ionians. Hellen is described as reigning over Phthia in Thessaly. See Hellas.
