Mygdon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There were two people named Mygdon in Greek mythology
- King Mygdon of Phrygia was a Phrygian king who was an ally of King Priam of Troy. He is mentioned in the Iliad as a Phrygian leader in a war against the Amazons that took place a generation before the Trojan War. He is given as a son of Acmon and father of Coroebus. This Mygdon gave his name to the Mygdonians (Mygdones), a branch of the Phrygians. There is most likely a connection between these Mygdonians and the region of western Thrace (later Macedonia) called Mygdonia, given that the Phrygians were believed to have originated from this part of Europe.
- King Mygdon of Bebryces was killed by Heracles. He was a son of Poseidon and Melia, and brother to King Amycus.
