In Greek mythology, son of King Erechtheus of Athens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Metion (/ˈmiːʃən/; Ancient Greek: Μητίων, gen. Μητίονος) was an Athenian prince as the son of King Erechtheus and Praxithea, daughter of Phrasimus and Diogeneia.[1]
Family
Metion was the brother of Cecrops, Pandorus, Protogeneia, Pandora, Creusa, Procris, Oreithyia and Chthonia.[2] His other possible siblings were Merope,[3] Orneus,[4] Thespius,[5] Eupalamus[6] and Sicyon.[7]
In some accounts, Metion's father was Eupalamus, son of Erechtheus, instead. He had sons known collectively as the Metionadae which probably include Eupalamus,[8] Sicyon,[9] and Daedalus[10] (his son by Iphinoe[11]). These mentioned sons are sometimes credited with other parentages.
