Damasichthon (King of Thebes)
In Greek mythology, Damasichthon (Ancient Greek: Δαμασίχθων) was a king of Thebes and the son of Opheltes, purported to be son to Peneleos (regent of Thebes).
Mythology
[edit]As Autesion, king of Thebes, left the city in obedience to an oracle, Damasichthon was designated as his successor. Damasichthon was the father of Ptolemy,[1] who took over the government after him.[2]
