Pelagon
There are several figures named Pelagon (Ancient Greek: Πελάγων, -όνος) in Greek mythology.
- Pelagon, king of Phocis and son of Amphidamas. He gave Cadmus the cow that was to guide him to Boeotia.[1][2][3]
- Pelagon or Pelasgus, son of the river-god Asopus by Metope.[4][5]
- Pelagon, one of the suitors of Hippodamia before Pelops.[6]
- Pelagon, one of the Calydonian hunters.[7]
- Pelagon or Pelegon, who is given in the Iliad as the father of the Paeonian warrior Asteropaeus, son of the river-god Axius and Periboea, the daughter of Acessamenus.[8] Presumably this Pelagon was the eponymous founder of Pelagonia.
- Pelagon, a native of Pylos who fought under Nestor in the Trojan War.[9]
- Pelagon, an "illustrious" companion of the hero Sarpedon during the Trojan War, who removes Tlepolemus' spear from Sarpedon's thigh.[10]

gollark: If I was a vast global conspiracy bent on killing a significant fraction of the population for poorly specified reasons I assume I could do better.
