In Greek mythology, Eryx was a king of the city of Eryx in Sicily. He was either the son of Poseidon,[1] or of Aphrodite and Butes the Argonaut of the Elymian people of Sicily who she spent several nights with at Lilybaeum to make Adonis jealous.[2] [3] Eryx was an excellent boxer but died when Heracles beat him in a match.[4]
A different Eryx, one of the supporters of Phineus, was turned to stone by Perseus with the head of the Gorgon Medusa.[5]
