Characters of the Greek mythology
There are several figures named Pelagon (Ancient Greek: Πελάγων, -ονος) in Greek mythology.
- Pelagon, king of Phocis and son of Amphidamas. He gave Cadmus the cow that was to guide him to Boeotia.[1]
- Pelagon, also called Pelasgus,[2] son of the river-god Asopus by the naiad Metope, daughter of the river Ladon.[3] He was brother to Ismenus, Corcyra, Salamis, Aegina, Peirene, Cleone, Thebe, Tanagra, Thespia, Asopis, Sinope, Ornea, Chalcis,[2] Harpina[4] and Ismene.[5] His sisters were abducted by various gods as punishment for their father's deed.[6]
- Pelagon, one of the suitors of Hippodamia before Pelops.[7]
- Pelagon, one of the Calydonian hunters.[8]
- 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.[9] Presumably this Pelagon was the eponymous founder of Pelagonia.
- Pelagon, a native of Pylos who fought under Nestor in the Trojan War.[10]
- Pelagon, an "illustrious" companion of the hero Sarpedon during the Trojan War, who removes Tlepolemus' spear from Sarpedon's thigh.[11]
