  • Presbon, a son of Phrixus and Chalciope mentioned in few sources, and never enumerated alongside his brothers Argus, Phrontis, Melas and Cytisorus.[1] Upon return from Colchis to Boeotia, he received his grandfather Athamas' kingdom back from the latter's adoptive heirs Haliartus and Coronus.[2] The kingdom further passed over to his son Clymenus.[3]
  • Presbon, father of Spledon (Aspledon) by Sterope.[5][6]
