Euaemon, son of King Ormenus of Ormenium[1] and thus, brother to Amyntor (otherwise also called his father). He was the father of Eurypylus by Deipyle (Deityche)[2] or Ops.[3]
Euaemon, son of King Lycaon of Arcadia.[4]
Euaemon, one of the ten sons of Poseidon and Cleito in Plato's myth of Atlantis.[5] He was the younger brother of Ampheres and his other siblings were Atlas and Eumelus, Mneseus and Autochthon, Elasippus and Mestor, and lastly, Azaes and Diaprepes.[6] Evaemon, along with his nine siblings, became the heads of ten royal houses, each ruling a tenth portion of the island, according to a partition made by Poseidon himself, but all subject to the supreme dynasty of Atlas who was the eldest of the ten.[7]
