Menephron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek and Roman mythology, Menephron (Ancient Greek: Μενέφρων, romanized: Menéphrōn) is the name of an Arcadian man notable for his tale surrounding incest. He is only referenced briefly in the works of Roman authors Ovid and Hyginus.[1]
In Ovid's Metamorphoses, as the runaway Medea flies above Greece in the chariot her grandfather gave her, she passes over Mount Cyllene, where Menephron would incestously lie with his mother in an animal-like manner.[2][3]
Hyginus in Fabulae confirms that Menephron slept with his mother, here named Blias/Bliade, and adds that he also slept with his daughter Cyllene as well.[4][5]
