Ogygos (King of Achaia)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ogygos ( Greek  Ὤγυγος ) is considered the last mythical king of Achaia in the northwest of the Peloponnese .

He is only known for a historically questionable king list that begins with Tisamenos. Just as Hellanikos put an Ogygos at the beginning of the Attic king list, another chronograph may have placed this name at the end of the series of Achaean kings.
