  * Hippasus, son of King Eurytus of Oechalia and one of the hunters of the Calydonian Boar.
  * Hippasus from the Pellene district of the Peloponnese, father of Actor, Iphitus, Asterion, Amphion, and Naubolus. The latter four are otherwise ascribed different parentage.

  * Hippasus, a Thessalian killed by Agenor in the Trojan War.
  * Hippasus, son of King Ceyx of Trachis and possibly, Alcyone, daughter of Aeolus, and thus, brother to Hylas, favorite of Heracles and Themistonoe, wife of Cycnus. Hippasus was killed in battle whilst fighting alongside Heracles against King Eurytus of Oechalia.
  * Hippasus, son of Leucippe, one of the Minyades. He was killed by his mother and her sisters.
