Oxyntes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oxyntes[pronunciation?] (Ancient Greek: Ὀξύντης) was a mythical king of Athens, son of Demophon (and therefore grandson of Theseus). He had two sons, Apheidas and Thymoetes, who succeeded him, one another, in the throne. Thymoetes was the last descendant of Theseus on the Athenian throne.[1][2]
