In Greek mythology, Demophon /ˈdɛməˌfɒn, -fən/ (Ancient Greek: Δημοφῶν or Δημοφόων) was a king of Athens. According to Pindar, Demophon was the son of Theseus and Phaedra, brother of Acamas. Some say that Demophon's mother was Iope, daughter of Iphicles. After his father lost the throne of Athens, Demophon grew up as an exile in Euboea with his brother under the care of Elephenor, a relative by marriage.
