• Amythaon — The original Latin form for the proper name Amythaon; a character in Greek mythology, son of Cretheus and Tyro, brother of Aeson and Pheres. He re-established the city of Pylos and is known historically as the father of the famous seer and healer Melampus, as well as of Bias, figuring as an important dynastic ancestor in the heroic legends of the Messenia region.
• Amythaonius — A Latin possessive adjective derived from the name Amythaon, meaning 'amythaonic', 'of Amythaon', or 'descended from Amythaon'. It is used in classical Greco-Roman poetry (for instance, in the works of Virgil or Ovid) as an elegant patronymic epithet to describe his son, the prophet Melampus (Melampus Amythaonius).
