Euphemus (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Euphemus (Ancient Greek: Εὔφημος Eὔphēmos, "reputable") was the name of several distinct characters:


 * Euphemus, son of Poseidon and an Argonaut.
 * Euphemus, a descendant of the river god Axius and the father of the hero Eurybarus who defeated the female monster Sybaris.
 * Euphemus, father of Daedalus by Hyginus, possibly by mistake instead of Eupalamus.
 * Euphemus, son of Troezenus and a leader of the Thracian Cicones. He was an ally of the Trojans. According to late writers, he was killed either by Achilles or by one of the following four: Diomedes, Idomeneus and the two Ajaxes who at one point united to attack the opponents.
 * Euphemus, surname of Zeus on Lesbos.
