CaphalusKaphalus

The husband of Prokris (Procris) and the victim of a tragic misunderstanding.

Eos (Dawn) fell in love with Kaphalus and Prokris became jealous; to ease Prokris’ anger, Artemis (or perhaps Minos) gave her the gift of a hound that always caught its prey and a spear that never missed its mark; Prokris gave the hound and spear to Kaphalus as an act of reconciliation but she was still suspicious of Eos’ intentions; she followed Kaphalus when he went hunting; Kaphalus heard some noise in the bushes and hurled the spear into Prokris, killing her.
