Physcus (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Physcus (Ancient Greek: Φύσκος Physkos) or Physcius, was a king of Locris[1] and son of Amphictyon and Chthonopatra[2] and father of Locrus.[3] In some accounts, however, he was called the grandson of Amphictyon through Aetolus, his predecessor to the throne.[4]
