Cyanippus (son of Pharax)

In Greek mythology, Cyanippus (Ancient Greek: Κυάνιππος, romanizedKuánippos, lit.'dark horse') is a minor character, a hunter from Thessaly, a region in central Greece. He married a woman named Leucone, but he often neglected her due to his frequent hunting in the woods. The suspicious Leucone followed him one day unbeknownst to him, and was attacked and killed by his hunting dogs in his absence. When he found her torn body, he killed himself in regret.[1]
