Pelagon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are several figures named Pelagon (Πελάγων, -όνος) in Greek mythology.
- Pelagon (son of Amphidamas), the king of Phocis who gave Cadmus the cow that was to guide him to Boeotia.[1][2][3]
- Pelagon or Pelegon, who is given in the Iliad as the father of the Paeonian warrior Asteropaeus, son of the river-god Axius and Periboea, the daughter of Acessamenus.[4] Presumably this Pelagon was the eponymous founder of Pelagonia.
- Pelagon, an "illustrious" companion of Sarpedon, who removes Tlepolemus' spear from Sarpedon's thigh.[5]
- Pelagon or Pelasgus, son of the river-god Asopus by Metope.[6][7]
- Pelagon, one of the suitors of Hippodamia before Pelops.[8]
- Pelagon, a native of Pylos who fought under Nestor in the Trojan War.[9]
