Erginus (Argonaut)

Erginus is said to be the son of Poseidon, and to have resided in the Carian city of Miletus. Yet others suggested he was a son of Periclymenus. Some authors identify him with another Erginus, king of Minyan Orchomenus.

During the funeral games which Hypsipyle celebrated at Lemnos in honour of her father Thoas, Erginus also contended for a prize. But he was ridiculed by the Lemnian women because of his grey hair, even though he was still young. However, Erginus defeated Boreads in the foot-race.
