Illyrius (Ancient Greek: Ἰλλυριός) is a name known in different stories found in ancient Greek mythology.
According to the Bibliotheca, Illyrius was the youngest son of Cadmus and Harmonia who eventually ruled Illyria and became the eponymous ancestor of the whole Illyrian people. Illyrius was specifically born during an expedition against the Illyrians on the side of the Encheleans.
According to the Illyrian Wars of Appian, Illyrius was the son of the Cyclops Polyphemus and his wife Galatea with siblings Celtus and Galas. The children of Polyphemus all migrated from Sicily and ruled over the peoples named after them, the Celts, the Illyrians, and the Galatians. This particular genealogy was most likely composed by the ancient Greek founders of Epidamnus (Corinthians and Corcyrans) and preserved in Appian's work.
Illyrius had six sons and three daughters whose names were associated with specific tribes:
All that I held precious
All I treasured in this world
Was you
All that I had cradled
All I gave up for you
You, you
You consciously killed our future
Never breaking stride
God, it makes me nauseous
Just to think about you
Tasting other guys
I won't act as if
Nothing's wrong
But my healing has begun
Even though you broke my life
I'm still able to smile
No denial
Something' inside
Is keeping me alive
Right before it folded
Seems like everyone could see
But me
Bet you couldn't figure out
How to lose me
Easily
Won't dignify your decision
To suffocate my dream
Giving you the pleasure of believing you could
Put an end to me
While you prance about
Someone else
Won't feel sorry for myself
Living life alone tonight
I'm still able to smile
No denial
Something inside
Is keeping me
Keeping me Alive
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
Something inside
Is keeping me
