Demophoon (more commonly translated as Demophon, but not to be confused with Demophon, King of Athens and son of Theseus) was the son of King Celeus and Queen Metanira. 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. Instead of making Demophoon a god, Demeter taught Triptolemus agriculture and helped him to spread the knowledge across Greece.
