In Greek mythology, Olenus (/ˈɒlɪnəs/; Ancient Greek: Ὤλενος Olenos) was the name of several individuals:

Olenus, son of Hephaestus and father of Helike and Aex, two nurses of infant Zeus. A city in Aulis was named for him.^[1]
Olenus, son of Zeus and Anaxithea^[2] (or Hippodamia^[3]), daughter of Danaus. He was the eponymous ruler of the city Olenus in Achaea. Olenus was succeeded by Crinacus (Crineus), another bastard son of Zeus.^[4]
Olenus, father of Tectaphus, a Lapith.^[5]
Olenus, a man who lived on Mount Ida. His wife Lethaea claimed she was more beautiful than any goddess. They were both turned to stone; although Olenus could have avoided this fate, he chose to be with his wife.^[6]
Olenus, a Lelegian, father of Phoceus. His son was killed by the Argonauts.^[7]
