Argynnus

In Greek mythology, Athenaeus tells a tale of how Agamemnon mourned the loss of his friend or lover Argynnus (Ἄργυννος), a boy from Boeotia, when he drowned in the Cephisus river. He buried him, honored with a tomb and a shrine to Aphrodite Argynnis. This episode is also found in Clement of Alexandria, in Stephen of Byzantium (Kopai and Argunnos), and in Propertius, III with minor variations.

It was said that Argynnus was a prince of Haliartus in Boeotia, one of the sons of king Copreus and queen Pisidice.

According to Athenaeus, Likymnios of Chios, in his Dithyrambics, says that Argynnus was an eromenos of the god Hymenaeus.
