Oebalus (son of Telon)

Oebalus was a king of Campania in Roman mythology . He was the son of Telon , king of Capreae , and the nymph Sebethis , daughter of the river god Sebethus near Naples. Since the kingdom of his father seemed too small to Oebalus, he went to Campania and founded a new kingdom in the river plain of the Sarnus .
