In Greek mythology, Aepytus (Шаблон:Lang-grc) was one of the mythical kings of Arcadia who originally ruled over Phaesana on the Alpheius.

Family

Aepytus was the son of King Elatus.[1] He was the father of Tlesenor and Peirithous.[2]

Mythology

When Cleitor, the son of Azan, died without leaving any issue, Aepytus succeeded him and became king of the Arcadians, a part of whose country was called after him Aepytis.[3] He is said to have been killed during the chase on Mount Sepia by the bite of a venomous snake.[4] His tomb there was still shown in the time of Pausanias, and he was anxious to see it, because it was mentioned by Homer.[5]
