Euphemus

From Free net encyclopedia

There are two figures in Greek mythology known as Euphemus.

One was the son of Europa and Poseidon. Medea prophesied that he would one day rule Libya when she was on the Argos with Jason and the Argonauts; Euphemus was the helmsman. Her prophesy came true when Battus, a descendant of Euphemus, founded Cyrene, the capital of Libya.

The other was a leader of the Thracian Cicones, on the side of the Trojans, mentioned in Book II of the Iliad.Template:Greek-myth-stub
