Daedalion
In Greek mythology, Daedalion was a son of Hesperos, or Lucifer, and the brother of Ceyx. Ceyx describes his brother Daedalion as a great warrior, full of courage and vigour but acknowledged that he could also be harsh, relishing the cruelty of war.〔Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book XI, 289〕 The story of Daedalion’s life is told mainly in Ovid’s Metamorphoses though passing references can be found in other classical works. It is possible the story may have originated with Boios.〔Myers, K. Sara, ''Ovid's Causes: Cosmogony and Aetiology in the Metamorphoses'', page 36-37〕 In the tale Daedalion, grief-stricken following the death of his daughter Chione, attempts to cast himself off Mount Parnassus only to be transformed into a hawk by Apollo.〔Hyginus, Fabulae. 200〕
== Chione, Autolycus and Philammon ==
Daedalion’s daughter Chione was said to be so beautiful that she was the object of a thousand men’s desire. As it transpired Chione’s admirers were not limited to mortal men. Whilst returning from visits to earth both Apollo and Hermes caught sight of Chione and were filled with a burning lust. Apollo decided to wait until night fell, however Hermes was not so patient. Through the use of magic he caused Chione to fall into a deep sleep and proceeded to rape her. Later that evening Apollo also visited her in the guise of an old woman.〔Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book XI, 301〕 As a result of these two divine visitations Chione gave birth to twins. By Hermes she gave birth to Autolycus who grew into a notorious thief and charlatan.〔〔Hyginus, Fabulae. 201〕 By Apollo she bore Philammon, a man famed both for his voice and skill with a lyre.〔
