Parthaon (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Parthaon (Ancient Greek: Παρθάονος) may refer to two different characters:

Parthaon, more commonly known as Porthaon, king of Calydon and father of Oeneus, the grandfather of Diomedes.^[1]
Parthaon, an Arcadian king as the son of Periphetes, descendant of King Lycaon. He begat Aristus who became the ancestor of Psophis, one of the possible eponyms for the city of Psophis.^[2] In some accounts, Parthaon was instead the son of Dorieus, son of Eikadios and Coroneia. He was the father of Paros and Ceteus who had a daughter Callisto by Stilbe.^[3]^[4]
