Everything about Euphemus totally explained
There are two figures in
Greek mythology known as
Euphemus. One was the son of
Poseidon, granted by his father the power to walk on water. Euphemus's mother is variously named:
Europe, daughter of the giant
Tityus;
Oris, daughter of
Orion; or
Macionice, daughter of
Eurotas. His residence is given as
Panopeus in
Phocis, or
Hyria in
Boeotia, or
Taenarum in
Laconia. Euphemus joined the voyage of the
Argonauts, and served the crew well as helmsman. By a Lemnian woman (Malicha, Malache, or Lamache) he became the father of
Leucophanes.
Medea prophesied that he'd one day rule
Libya; her prophesy came true when
Battus of
Thera, an alleged distant descendant of Euphemus (by 17 generations), founded
Cyrene.
The other Euphemus, son of
Troezenus, was a leader of the
Thracian Cicones, on the side of the
Trojans, mentioned in Book II of the
Iliad.
