In Greek mythology, Erginus /ˈɜːrdʒɪnəs/ ( Ancient Greek: Ἐργῖνος) was an Argonaut [1] who piloted the Argo after the helmsman Tiphys died. [2]
Erginus is said to be the son of Poseidon, [3] and to have resided in the Carian city of Miletus. [4] Yet others suggested he was a son of Periclymenus. [5] Some authors identify him with another Erginus, king of Minyan Orchomenus. [6]
During the funeral games which Hypsipyle celebrated at Lemnos in honour of her father Thoas, Erginus also contended for a prize. But he was ridiculed by the Lemnian women because of his grey hair, even though he was still young. However, Erginus defeated Boreads in the foot-race. [7]
