Deileon ( Dēileōn) may refer to two figures in Greek mythology.
-
Deileon, a Tricca prince as son of King Deimachus in Thessaly. Along with his brothers, Autolycus and Phlogius, Deileon took part in the campaign of Hercules during the Amazons.
[Apollonius of Rhodes, 2.955] These three brothers went astray and stayed at Sinope,[Pseudo-Scymnus, Circuit de la terre 940 ff.] where they later met the Argonauts and joined them on their expedition to Colchis. Plutarch mentioned him as Demoleon.
-
Deileon, a Greek henchman of Epeius of Phocis during the Trojan War. He was killed by the hero Aeneas.
[Quintus Smyrnaeus, 10.111]
