In Greek mythology, Minyas (Greek: Μινύας) was the founder of Orchomenus or son of king Orchomenus, depending on the story. As the ancestor of the Minyans, a number of Boeotian genealogies lead back to him, according to the classicist H. J. Rose. His children include Clymene, mother of Phaethon, Cyparissus the founder of Anticyra, and three daughters known as the Minyades.
