Legendary ante-Homeric singer of Delphi, the heteropaternal twin of Autolycus: son of Apollo by the mortal Chione of Phocis (greek_chione), born the same night as Hermes's son Autolycus (Ovid Met. 11.301-317; Pherecydes; Apollod. 1.3.3). Authored as a demigod (Olympian father Apollo + mortal mother Chione → divinity fraction 0.5). He founded the Delphic maiden-choruses singing the births of Leto, Artemis and Apollo, won the second victory (after Chrysothemis, before his son Thamyris) in the most ancient Pythian nome-contest (Paus. 10.7.2), was named — with Pausanias's own doubt — founder of the Lernaean Mysteries (Paus. 2.37.2), and fell defending Apollo's sanctuary at Delphi against the marauding Phlegyans (Paus. 9.36.2). Wired to greek_chione + greek_hesiod_apollo as parents and reciprocally to his twin greek_autolycus.
