In
Greek mythology,
Assaracus (; ,
Assarakos) was the second son of
Tros, King of
Dardania. He inherited the throne when his elder brother
Ilus preferred to reign instead over his newly founded city of
Ilium (which also became known as
Troy). He married
Hieromneme, daughter of
Simoeis; others say his wife was Clytodora, daughter of
Laomedon. Assaracus' son and heir was
Capys. He was also a brother of
Ganymede.
