In Greek mythology, Parthaon ( Ancient Greek: Παρθάονος) may refer to two different characters:
- Parthaon, more commonly known as Porthaon, king of Calydon and father of Oeneus, the grandfather of Diomedes. [1]
- Parthaon, an Arcadian king as the son of Periphetes, descendant of King Lycaon. He begat Aristus who became the ancestor of Psophis, one of the possible eponyms for the city of Psophis. [2] In some accounts, Parthaon was instead the son of Dorieus, son of Eikadios and Coroneia. He was the father of Paros and Ceteus who had a daughter Callisto by Stilbe. [3] [4]
