In Greek mythology, Hyrtacus is an obscure character, said to be the father of Asius and Nisus. He was a comrade of King Priam of Troy. Hyrtacus married Arisbe, daughter of King Merops of Percote, after Priam had divorced her. Hyrtacus's son by Arisbe, was named Asius who fought at Troy, as did Hyrtacus's grandsons, Adamas and Phaenops. Virgil credits Hyrtacus with another son, named Nisus. Hyrtacus's own parentage is not given.
