- Stratius, an Orchomenian prince as the son of King Clymenus of the Minyans[1] and possibly, Boudeia or Bouzyge, daughter of Lycus. He was the brother of Erginus,[2] Arrhon, Pyleus, Azeus,[1] Eurydice[3] and Axia.[4]
- Stratius, also known as Stratichus, son of King Nestor of Pylos.[5]
- Stratius, one of the comrades of the Greek hero Odysseus.[6] When the latter and 12 of his crew came into the port of Sicily, the Cyclops Polyphemus seized and confined them. The monster then slain Stratius and five others namely: Antiphon, Euryleon, Apheidas, Kepheus, and Menetos, while the remaining six survived.[7]
- Stratius, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Zacynthus along with other 43 wooers.[8] He, with the other suitors, was slain by Odysseus with the help of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.[9]
