Iapyx (Iapux), a son of Lycaon and brother of Daunius and Peucetius, who went as leaders of a colony to Italy (Anton. Lib. 31). According to others, Iapyx was a Cretan, and a brother of Icadius (Serv. ad Aen. iii. 332), or a son of Daedalus and a Cretan woman, from whom the Cretans who migrated to Italy derived the name of Iapyges (Strab. vi.; Athen. xii.; Herod. vii. 170; Heyne, ad Virg. Aen. xi. 247).
