[4] Eurytion was the swift son of either of Irus[5] and Demonassa,[6] or of Kenethos and Cerion[citation needed], and father of Antigone.
[6] When Peleus fled away from Aegina because of the murder of his half-brother Phocus, he was received and purified by Eurytion at his Phthian court.
In addition, the king also offered the son of Aeacus a third part of the kingdom to rule over and his daughter Antigone to marry.
There, along with the other hunters, they were hospitably entertained by the king for ten days and during the hunt, Peleus forcefully thrown a spear that missed the giant wild hog but inadvertently struck his father-in-law.
Eurytion died in the woods caused by that deadly wound in his chest while Peleus then fled from Phthia to Iolcus, where he was purified by King Acastus.
