• Iasus (Iasius), one of the Dactyli<ref>Pausanias, 5.14.7.</ref> or Curetes.<ref>Pausanias, 5.7.6.</ref>
• Iasus, king of Argos.<ref>Apollodorus, 2.1.3.</ref>
• Iasus, son of Io<ref>Eustathius on Homer's Iliad 1845</ref>
• Iasius (Iasion<ref>Hesiod, Ehoiai 123.6</ref>), son of Eleuther and brother of Pierus. He was the father of Chaeresilaus<ref>Pausanias, 9.20.1.</ref> and Astreis.<ref>Hesiod, Ehoiai 123.8</ref>
• Iasius, another name of Iasion.<ref>The form "Iasion" was also used by Pausanias and Aelian to refer to the father of Atalante.</ref>
• Iasus (Iasius), the Arcadian father of Atalanta<ref>Callimachus, Hymn to Artemis 217</ref> by Clymene, daughter of Minyas; he was the son of King Lycurgus of Arcadia by either Eurynome or Cleophyle.
