Emathion

Emathion

In Greek mythology, the name Emathion (Ancient Greek: Ἠμαθίων) refers to four individuals.

  • Emathion, king of Aethiopia or Arabia, the son of Tithonus and Eos, and brother of Memnon. Herakles killed him after coming across the valley of the Nile on his way to steal the golden apples of the Hesperis, and gave his kingdom to Memnon. According to a rumor, Emathion wanted to prevent Herakles from stealing the golden apples. A different legend tells that the father of Romus, who founded Rome, was Emathion.
  • In the Aeneid, Emathion is one of the companions of Aeneas in Italy. He was slain by Liger, an ally of Turnus, the opponent of Aeneas.
