KanthosCanthos

One of the Argonauts; the son of Kanethos (Canethos) from the island of Euboea.

After the Argonauts had successfully obtained the Golden Fleece and were headed home, they were stranded in Libya; when they began a desperate search for water, Kanthos encountered a flock of sheep that belonged to the grandson of Apollon, Kaphauros (Caphauros); as Kanthos was leading the sheep away, Kaphauros challenged and killed him; the other Argonauts avenged their comrade’s death by killing Kaphauros.

His name may also be rendered as Kanthus or Canthus.
