Arrhon
In Greek mythology, Arrhon (Ancient Greek: Ἄρρωνος) may refer to the two different figures:
- Arrhon, a Minyan prince as the son of King Clymenus[1] (Periclymenus) of Orchomenus and Buzyge (or Budeia)[2] and his brothers were Erginus, Azeus, Pyleus, Stratius,[3] Eurydice[4] and Axia.[5] Together with his brothers, they attacked Thebes and, being victorious, imposed on the city a tribute to be paid each year for the murder of their father Clymenus.
- Arrhon, an Arcadian king as the son of Erymanthus, a descendant of King Lycaon of Arcadia. He was the father of Psophis, one of the possible eponyms for the city of Psophis.[6]
