In Greek mythology, Scephrus ( Ancient Greek: Σκέφρου) was an Arcadian prince as the son of King Tegeates of Tegea and Maera, daughter of the Titan Atlas. He was the brother of Leimon, Archedius, Gortys and Cydon. [1]

Mythology

When Apollo and Artemis visited the land of Tegea, Scephrus came to the god and had a private conversation with him. Leimon thinking that they were plotting against him, rushed on his brother and murdered him. [2] To punish the death of Scephrus, Artemis shot Leimon dead afterwards. [3]
