Unsolved:Anthedon (mythology)

From HandWiki

In Greek mythology, there were several people named Anthedon (Ancient Greek: Ἀνθηδών means "rejoicing in flowers"[1]) — at least two male and one female.

  • Anthedon, possible father of Glaucus, a sea god — whose mother might have been Alcyone.[2]
  • Anthedon, son of Dius and grandson of Anthas, thus great-grandson of Poseidon and Alcyone, eponym of the town Anthedon in Boeotia.[3]
  • Anthedon, the Naiad nymph of Anthedon, Boeotia.[4]
