Pelagon

Pelagon

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

# Pelagon, the King of Phocis who gives Cadmus the cow that will guide him to Boeotia.
# A second Pelagon is given in the Iliad as the father of the Paionian warrior Asteropaeus, son of the river-god Axius and Periboea. Presumably this Pelagon was the eponymous founder of Pelagonia.
# Pelagon (also called Pelasgus) was a son of the river-god Asopus by Metope.
