Cephalion (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Cephalion (Ancient Greek: Κεφαλίων) , also called Caphaurus (Κάφαυρον), was the son of Amphithemis and the nymph Tritonis and the brother of Nasamon. His family lived in Libya and he was a shepherd of whose flocks were plundered by the Argonauts Canthus and Eurybates. These two were later killed by Cephalion in revenge.[1][2]
