Eupalamus

In Greek mythology, Eupalamus (Ancient Greek: Εὐπαλάμου means "handy, skilful, ingenious") was an Athenian prince. There are two versions of his genealogy: Eupalamus was called (1) the son of Metion (son of King Erechtheus),[1] and the father by Alcippe[2] of Daedalus,[3] Perdix[4] and Metiadusa, wife of King Cecrops II[5] or instead (2) the son of Erechtheus and possibly Praxithea, and became the father of Metion, father of Daedalus.[6]
