Who is demophoon?

King Celeus offered hospitality to the goddess Demeter while she was in the guise of an old woman named Doso and searched for her daughter Persephone. King Celeus asked Demeter to nurse his sons, Demophoon and Triptolemus. In return for his generosity, Demeter offered to turn Demophoon into a god. While she was doing so by placing him in a fire to burn away his mortal soul, Queen Metanira happened upon them and screamed at seeing her child on fire. Demeter was angered that she was interrupted and the Queen Metanira did not understand the ritual.
