Ilus (Greek: Ἶλος) is the name of several mythological persons associated directly or indirectly with Troy.
Homer's Iliad mentions at several points the tomb of Ilus son of Dardanus in the middle of the Trojan plain. Later writers explain him as the son and heir of Dardanus who died childless whence his brother Erichthonius gained the kingship.
Ilus (Ilos in Greek) is in Greek mythology the founder of the city called Ilios or Ilion (Latinized as Ilium) to which he gave his name. When the latter became the chief city of the Trojan people it was also often called Troy, the name by which it is best known today.
Ilus was son and heir to Tros of Dardania and brother of Assaracus and Ganymede. He won the wrestling prize at games held by the King of Phrygia and received fifty youths and maidens as his reward. The king also, on the advice of an oracle, gave him a cow and asked him to found a city where it should lie down. Ilus did so.
Ilus then prayed to Zeus for a sign and at once saw the Palladium fallen from heaven and lying before his tent but was immediately blinded for the impiety of looking on the image. He regained his sight after making offerings to Athena.
Elle est seule sur le sol
Coulant sous l'alcool
Le vernis se craquelle
Sous l'idole
Se poudrer le faciès
Enrober de soie
Ce qui blesse et qu'on laisse
Derrière soi
Idéaliser
Un passé brisé
Pas réaliser
Qu'il n'est plus là
Idéaliser
Juste supposer
Qu'elle a tout osé
Et lui poser
Un dernier baiser
Un baiser
Ses bas ont défilé
Dans toutes les nuits blanches
Blanche-neige exhibée
Aux archanges
Il neige sur Downtown
Fin des seventies
Le temps, c'est de l'automne
Sans surprise
Idéaliser
Un passé brisé
Pas réaliser
Qu'il n'est plus là
Idéaliser
Se faire une beauté
Retourner la scène
Viser
L'aller sans retour
Le saut dans le vide
La petite club-kid
N'aime plus le jour
Idéaliser
Juste supposer
Qu'elle a tout osé
Et lui poser
