Atymnius
In Greek mythology, Atymnius (Greek: Ἀτύμνιος) is a name that may refer to:
- Son of Zeus and Cassiopeia, a beautiful boy, who was beloved by Sarpedon.[1] Others call him a son of Phoenix (mortal husband of Cassiopeia).[2] He seems to have been worshipped at Gortyn in Crete together with Europa.[3]
- A companion of Sarpedon, from Lycia. He was the son of Araisodarus, who had reared Chimera, and brother of Maris. His own son was Mydon, charioteer of Pylaemenes. Both Atymnius and Mydon were killed by Antilochus, while Maris was slain by Thrasymedes.[5]
