Idmon (Argonaut)


In Greek mythology, Idmon was an Argonaut seer.

Family

Allegedly a son of Apollo, he had Abas as his mortal father. His mother was Asteria, daughter of Coronus, or Cyrene, or else Antianeira, daughter of Pheres. By Laothoe he had a son Thestor.

Mythology

Idmon foresaw his own death in the Argonaut expedition, but joined anyway. During the outbound voyage of Argo, a boar killed him in the land of the Mariandyni, in Bithynia.
In 559 BC, the citizens of Megara Heraclea built a temple over Idmon's grave.
