Deileon

Deileon (Ancient Greek: Δηιλέων, Dēileōn) is a figure in Greek mythology. He was a son of Deimachus from Tricca in Thessaly. Along with his brothers, Autolycus and Phlogius, Deileon took part in the campaign of Hercules during the Amazon battles.[1] These three brothers went astray and stayed at Sinope, where they later met the Argonauts and joined them on their expedition to Colchis. Plutarch mentioned him as Demoleon (Ancient Greek: Δημολέων).
