Presbon
In Greek mythology, the name Presbon (Πρέσβων "elder, senior") may refer to:
- Presbon, a son of Phrixus and Chalciope mentioned in few sources, and never enumerated alongside his brothers Argus, Phrontis, Melas and Cytisorus.[1] Upon return from Colchis to Boeotia, he received his grandfather Athamas' kingdom back from the latter's adoptive heirs Haliartus and Coronus.[2] The kingdom further passed over to his son Clymenus.[3]
- Presbon, the young son of Clymenus (Periclymenus), whom Harpalyce killed and served to Clymenus as a meal in revenge for the rape.[7]
