In Greek mythology, Hyperasius (Ancient Greek: Ὑπεράσιος), from Pellene in Achaea, was the son of Pellen, eponymous founder of the said city.[Apollonius of Rhodes, 1.176] He was the father of twin Argonauts Amphion and Asterius possibly by Hypso.[Valerius Flaccus, 1.367] Otherwise, the father of these men was called Hippasus.[Hyginus, Fabulae 14]
