In Greek mythology, Schoeneus ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|k|ɛ|n|ˌ|j|uː|s}}; Ancient Greek: Σχοινεύς Skhoineús, literally "rushy") was the name of several individuals:
- Schoeneus, a Boeotian king, the son of Athamas and Themisto.Scholia on Apollonius Rhodius, 2.1144; Apollodorus, [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+1.9.2&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:chapter=&highlight=Schoeneus 1.9.2]; Nonnus, 9.314; Tzetzes on Lycophron, 22 He may have emigrated to Arcadia, where a village Schoenous and a river Schoeneus flowing by it were believed to have been named after him,Pausanias, [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+8.35.10&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:chapter=&highlight=Schoeneus 8.35.10]; Stephanus of Byzantium, s.v. Skhoinoûs and where his children were believed to have originated. He was the father of Atalanta,Diodorus Siculus, 4.34.4 & 4.41.2; Apollodorus, [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+1.8.2&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:chapter=&highlight=Schoeneus 1.8.2] & [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.1.9.16&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:chapter=&highlight=Schoeneus 1.9.16]hence her patronymic Schoineïa or Schoeneïs in Roman poets (e. g. Ovid, Metamorphoses 10.609 & 660; Tristia 2.399 & Heroides 15 (16).263) and also of the Arcadian Clymenus.Hyginus, Fabulae 206, 238, 242 & 246

When the latter was killed by their father's horses, Zeus and Apollo pitied Schoeneus and transformed him into a bird.Antoninus Liberalis, [https://topostext.org/work/216#7 7] as cited in Boeus' Ornithogonia
- Schoeneus, a man who reared Orestes, from whose home Orestes directed to Argos to avenge the death of his father on Clytaemnestra.John of Antioch in Karl Wilhelm Ludwig Müller's compilation Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum, vol. 4, p. 552
