In Greek mythology, Brangas ( Ancient Greek: Βράγγας) was a Thracian prince as son of King Strymon, and the brother of Rhesus and Olynthus. [1]
Rhesus was killed by Diomedes while fighting for the Trojans in the Trojan War. When Olynthus was killed during the chase by a lion, Brangas buried him on the spot where he had fallen, and called the town which he subsequently founded Olynthus. [1] [2] The story of Brangas appears only in Conon, who, unfortunately, lists no sources. [3]
