Pelagon

There are several figures named Pelagon (Πελάγων, -όνος) in Greek mythology.

  1. Pelagon (son of Amphidamas), the king of Phocis who gave Cadmus the cow that was to guide him to Boeotia.[1][2][3]
  2. 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.
  3. Pelagon, an "illustrious" companion of Sarpedon, who removes Tlepolemus' spear from Sarpedon's thigh.[5]
  4. Pelagon or Pelasgus, son of the river-god Asopus by Metope.[6][7]
  5. Pelagon, one of the suitors of Hippodamia before Pelops.[8]
  6. Pelagon, a native of Pylos who fought under Nestor in the Trojan War.[9]
  7. Pelagon, one of the Calydonian hunters.[10]
