In Greek mythology, Phthius (Ancient Greek: φθῖος) was the son of Poseidon and Larisa. The country Phthiotis in southern Thessaly is named after him.[1]
Phthius together with his brothers Achaeus and Pelasgus, they left Achaean Argos with a Pelasgian contingent for Thessaly. They then established a colony on the said country naming it after themselves. The only single source of the accounts of Phthius is recounted by Dionysius of Halicarnassus in his Roman Antiquities about the Pelasgian race's migration.
