*Schoeneus, a [[Boeotia]]n king, the son of [[Athamas]] and [[Themisto]].<ref>[[Scholia]] on [[Apollonius Rhodius]], 2.1144; [[Pseudo-Apollodorus|Apollodorus]], [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+1.9.2&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:chapter=&highlight=Schoeneus 1.9.2]; [[Nonnus]], 9.314; [[Tzetzes]] on [[Lycophron]], 22</ref> He may have immigrated to [[Arcadia (ancient region)|Arcadia]], where a village Schoenous and a river Schoeneus flowing by it were believed to have been named after him,<ref>[[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+8.35.10&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:chapter=&highlight=Schoeneus 8.35.10]; [[Stephanus of Byzantium]], s.v. ''Skhoinoûs''</ref> and where his children were believed to have originated. He was the father of [[Atalanta]],<ref>[[Diodorus Siculus]], 4.34.4 & 4.41.2; Apollodorus, [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+1.8.2&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:chapter=&highlight=Schoeneus 1.8.2] & [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.1.9.16&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:chapter=&highlight=Schoeneus 1.9.16]</ref><ref>hence her [[patronymic]] Schoineïa or Schoeneïs in Roman poets (e. g. [[Ovid]], ''[[Metamorphoses]]'' 10.609 & 660; ''[[Tristia]]'' 2.399 & ''[[Heroides]]'' 15 (16).263)</ref> and also of the Arcadian [[Clymenus]].<ref>[[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]], ''Fabulae'' 206, 238, 242 & 246</ref>
*Schoeneus, son of [[Autonous]] (son of [[Melaneus (mythology)|Melaneus]]) and [[Hippodamia (wife of Autonous)|Hippodamia]]. He was the brother of [[Erodius]], [[Acanthus (son of Autonous)|Acanthus]], [[Acanthis (mythology)|Acanthis]] and [[Anthus (mythology)|Anthus]]. When the latter was killed by their father's horses, [[Zeus]] and [[Apollo]] pitied Schoeneus and transformed him into a bird.<ref>[[Antoninus Liberalis]], [https://topostext.org/work/216#7 7] as cited in [[Boios|Boeus]]' ''Ornithogonia''</ref>
*Schoeneus, a man who reared [[Orestes]], from whose home Orestes directed to [[Argos, Peloponnese|Argos]] to avenge the death of his father on [[Clytaemnestra]].<ref>[[John of Antioch (chronicler)|John of Antioch]] in [[Karl Wilhelm Ludwig Müller]]'s compilation ''Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum'', vol. 4, p. 552</ref>
