In Greek mythology, Mynes (Ancient Greek: Μύνης means "diverting") may refer to two individuals:
- Mynes, the Lacedamonian father of Pedias, wife of the autochthonous King Cranaus of Athens, who bore him three daughters: Cranaë, Cranaechme, and Atthis.[1]
- Mynes, king of the city of Lyrnessus which was sacked by Achilles, who there captured his wife, Briseis. Mynes was son of King Evenus, son of Selepus.[2]
