Iardanus of Lydia

In Greek mythology, Iardanus (Ancient Greek: Ἰάρδανος or Ἰαρδάνης) is a semi-legendary figure who was the father of Omphale, queen of the people who were formerly called Maeonians, but later Lydians. According to legend, he (or Omphale) bought Heracles as a slave. Herodotus implies that Iardanus was a Maeonian king of Lydia.
