In Greek mythology, King Dascylus of Mysia or Mariandyne was the father of Lycus. One account says that Dascylus was a son of Tantalus. He is presumably the eponym of the coastal city of Dascylium.
Another Dascylus was a son of Lycus, and grandson of the above Dascylus. He acted as a guide to the Argonauts.
A third Dascylus was said to be the father of the semi-historical figure Gyges of Lydia.
