Almops ( Ancient Greek: Ἄλμωψ) was, in Greek mythology, a giant son of the god Poseidon and the half- nymph Helle. [1] He was the brother of Paeon (called " Edonus" in some accounts). [2]
It is from Almops that the now-obsolete name for the region of Almopia and its inhabitants, the Almopes, in Macedonia, Greece, were believed to have derived their name. [3]
