In Greek mythology, Amythaon (/ˌæməˈθeɪɒn/; Ancient Greek: Ἀμυθάων, gen.: Ἀμυθάονος) was prince of Iolcus as the son of King Cretheus and Tyro, daughter of King Salmoneus of Elis. He was the brother of Aeson and Pheres.[1] Amythaon dwelt at Pylos in Messenia, and by Idomene, his niece, or by Aglaia became the father of Bias, Melampus, Aeolia[2] and Perimele.[3] His wife Idomene is sometimes said to be daughter of Abas, king of Argos.
