Daedala to Dentil Molding Deo to Dysnomia
The infant son of the king of Eleusis, Keleos, and his wife, Metaneira.
When Hades abducted Demeter’s daughter, Persephone, Demeter disguised herself and became the nurse of Demophoon; each evening Demeter would bathe Demophoon in fire in order to secretly make him immortal; one evening Metaneira saw Demophoon in the fire and Demeter had no choice but to reveal her true identity.
