In Greek mythology, the name Thessalus is attributed to three individuals, all of whom were considered possible eponyms of Thessaly.

  • Thessalus, son of Jason and Medea and the twin of Alcimenes. He escaped being murdered by his mother and, after the death of Acastus, became king of Iolcus.
  • Thessalus, son of Heracles and Chalciope. He was the father of Antiphus, Pheidippus and Nesson.
  • Thessalus, son of Haemon.
