Mythical figure, son of AMYTHAON. Bias is known only in association with his more prominent brother, MELAMPUS. Herodotus mentions Bias when recounting one of Melampus’ exploits, obtaining a share of the kingship at ARGOS (for himself and Bias) in exchange for curing the city’s women of MADNESS (9.34). Bias’ son TALAUS succeeded to the kingship at Argos.
