Unsolved:Euaemon
From HandWiki
In Greek mythology, Euaemon or Euaimon (Ancient Greek: Εὐαίμων) may refer to the following personages and a place:
- Euaemon, one of the ten sons of Poseidon and Cleito in Plato's myth of Atlantis.[1] He was the younger brother of Ampheres and his other siblings were Atlas and Eumelus, Mneseus and Autochthon, Elasippus and Mestor, and lastly, Azaes and Diaprepes.[2] Evaemon, along with his nine siblings, became the heads of ten royal houses, each ruling a tenth portion of the island, according to a partition made by Poseidon himself, but all subject to the supreme dynasty of Atlas who was the eldest of the ten.[3]
- Euaemon, an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon either by the naiad Cyllene,[4] Nonacris[5] or by unknown woman. He and his brothers were the most nefarious and carefree of all people. To test them, Zeus visited them in the form of a peasant. These brothers mixed the entrails of a child into the god's meal, whereupon the enraged Zeus threw the meal over the table. Euaemon was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.[6]
- Euaemon, son of King Ormenus of Ormenium[7] and thus, brother to Amyntor (otherwise also called his father). He was the father of Eurypylus[8] by Deipyle (Deityche)[9] or Ops.[10]
- Euaemon, a city mentioned in Stephanus of Byzantium' s Ethnika, otherwise unknown
