Eribotes

In Greek mythology, Eribotes (Ancient Greek: Ἐρυβώτης) was a Locrian who was counted among the Argonauts. He was the son of Teleon.[1][2]

Mythology

Eribotes appears to have had skills of a physician: in the Argonautica, he attends on Oileus when the latter is wounded by a feather of a Stymphalian bird.[3]

One the return trip, Eribotes along with Canthus died. They were slain in Libya by the shepherd Cephalion, son of the nymph Tritonis and Amphithemis, whose flocks they were plundering.[4]
