Amphictyon (eponym)
Amphictyon ( Greek Ἀμφικτύων Amphiktýōn ), founder of the Delphic-Pylic amphictyony , is a figure in Greek mythology .
He was a son of Deucalion and Pyrrha . Amphictyon ruled over the Lokrians and had a temple near Anthela near Thermopylae next to the sanctuary of Demeter Amphiktyonis .
Itonos , the father of Boiotos , and Aitolos , the father of Physkos , and sometimes Malos , the husband of the muse Erato, are named as his sons . According to another derivation, Amphictyon was not the grandfather, but - with Chthonopatra - the father of Physkos; this would fit the variant of his genealogy according to which Amphictyon was not the son but the grandson of Deucalion.
