In Greek mythology, Euaemon or Euaimon (Ancient Greek: Εὐαίμων) may refer to the following personages and a place:
Euaemon, one of the ten sons of Poseidon and Cleito in Plato's myth of Atlantis.[1] He was the younger brother of Ampheres and his other siblings were Atlas and Eumelus, Mneseus and Autochthon, Elasippus and Mestor, and lastly, Azaes and Diaprepes.[2] Evaemon, along with his nine siblings, became the heads of ten royal houses, each ruling a tenth portion of the island, according to a partition made by Poseidon himself, but all subject to the supreme dynasty of Atlas who was the eldest of the ten.[3]
Euaemon, an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon either by the naiadCyllene,[4]Nonacris[5] or by unknown woman. He and his brothers were the most nefarious and carefree of all people. To test them, Zeus visited them in the form of a peasant. These brothers mixed the entrails of a child into the god's meal, whereupon the enraged Zeus threw the meal over the table. Euaemon was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.[6]
