Lelantos

Lelantos or Lelantus is a minor mythological figure that appears in the late epic Dionysiaca by Nonnus of Panopolis, written in the early 5th century AD.
== Dionysiaca ==
Lelantos is the Titan father of the nymph Aura, who was a hunting companion of Artemis and the mother, by Dionysus, of Iacchus, a minor deity connected with the Eleusinian Mysteries. Lelantos was married to the Oceanid nymph Periboea, whom Nonnus seems to imply was Aura's mother, although elsewhere, he calls Aura the "daughter of Cybele", the Phrygian mother-goddess. Lelantos' own parentage is not touched upon.
