Eurytion

A son of Irus and Demonassa, and a grandson of Actor, is mentioned among the Argonauts.1 According to others he was a son of Actor, and he is also called Eurytus.2 When Peleus was expelled from his dominions, he fled to Eurytion and married his daughter Antigone; but in shooting at the Calydonian boar, Peleus inadvertently killed his father-in-law.3
