In Greek mythology, Eribotes (Ancient Greek: Ἐρυβώτης) was a Locrians who was counted among the Argonauts. He was the son of Teleon.[Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica, 1. 72][Gaius Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica, 1. 402]
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.
[Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 2.1039]
One the return trip, Eribotes along with Canthus died. They were slain in Ancient Libya by the shepherd Cephalion, son of the nymph Tritonis and Amphithemis, whose flocks they were plundering.[Hyginus, Fabulae, 14]
