In Greek mythology, Deucalion or Deukalion (/dju:keɪli:ən/; Ancient Greek: Δευκαλίων τῆς Κρήτης), was a king of Crete. He was counted among the Argonauts and the Calydonian Hunters.^[1]

^ Hyginus, Fabulae 14 & 173, this was probably a misinterpretation of the author of a passage by Valerius in his Argonautica 1.367: "...and from the sandy shores of Pella Deucalion of the unerring javelin, and Amphion renowned in the close fight, whom Hypso at one birth brought forth...", this Deucalion was also called Asterius in earlier myths like in Apollonius of Rhodes, Argonautica 1.176: "... Asterius and Amphion, sons of Hyperasius, came from Achaean Pellene...". This makes sense that this Deucalion who was killed by Theseus was never been encountered by the hero before his exploit in Crete.
