Home > Medôn


 

In Greek mythology, there were two people called Medôn.
  1. An Ithacan herald who was polite towards Penelope when all of her suitors were rude. He was spared by Odysseus, who killed the rest of the suitors.
  2. Stepbrother of Ajax the Lesser and son of Oileus, king of Locris. In the Trojan War, he took over Philoctetes' army after Philoctetes was bit by a snake and left on Lemnos because the wound festered and smelled bad. Medon was killed by Aeneas. ( Iliad II, 727; XV, 332)
