Euphemus
In
Greek mythology,
Euphemus was the son of
Europa and
Poseidon.
Medea prophesied that he would one day rule
Libya when she was on the
Argos with
Jason and the
Argonauts; Euphemus was the helmsman. Her prophesy came true when
Battus, a descendant of Euphemus, founded
Cyrene, the capital of Libya.
