[2] Erginus is said to be the son of Poseidon,[3] and to have resided in the Carian city of Miletus.
[5] Some authors identify him with another Erginus, king of Minyan Orchomenus.
[6] During the funeral games which Hypsipyle celebrated at Lemnos in honour of her father Thoas, Erginus also contended for a prize.
But he was ridiculed by the Lemnian women because of his grey hair, even though he was still young.
