Pelagon

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

  1. Pelagon, the King of Phocis who gives Cadmus the cow that will guide him to Boeotia.
  2. A second Pelagon is given in the Iliad as the father of the Paeonian warrior Asteropaeus, son of the river-god Axius and Periboea. Presumably this Pelagon was the eponymous founder of Pelagonia.
  3. A different Pelagon in the Iliad is an "illustrious" companion of Sarpedon, who removes Tlepolemus' spear from Sarpedon's thigh.[1]
  4. Pelagon (also called Pelasgus) was a son of the river-god Asopus by Metope.
