PHILAMMON:^[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philammon In Greek mythology, Philammon was the son of Chione and Apollo.[1] Some say his mother was Leuconoe, daughter of Eosphoros,[2] or Philonis, daughter of either Deion[3] or of Eosphoros and Cleoboea.[4]He was an excellent musician, a talent he received from his father. By Argiope, a nymph of Mount Parnassos, he had two children, Eumolpus and Thamyris.[5][6]

Philammon was said to have established the tradition of the hymns celebrating the births of Leto, Artemis and Apollo, written by himself, being performed by choruses of girls at Delphi.[7] He was the second winner of the most ancient singing contest at Delphi, after Chrysothemis and before his son Thamyris.[8] Some ascribe to him the foundation of the Lernaean mysteries.[9] He was also reported to have been among the Argonauts.[10]
