For the shrimp genus of this name, go to Salmoneus.

In Greek mythology, Salmoneus was the son of Aeolus and Enarete, the brother of Athamas, Sisyphus and the father of Tyro. Salmoneus became King of Elis and founded the city of Salmaneo.[1]

Robert Trebor played a character named Salmoneus in the television shows Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, who had little relation to the Salmoneus of myth. This version was a wheeler-dealer, always on the lookout to make a quick dinar (however, he could always be relied upon in a crisis, where he showed himself to be a caring and kind-hearted man).
