In Greek mythology, Metion (/ˈmiːʃən/; Ancient Greek: Μητίων, gen. Μητίονος) was an Athenian prince as the son of King Erechtheus and Praxithea, daughter of Phrasimus and Diogeneia.
[1] Metion was the brother of Cecrops, Pandorus, Protogeneia, Pandora, Creusa, Procris, Oreithyia and Chthonia.
[2] His other possible siblings were Merope,[3] Orneus,[4] Thespius,[5] Eupalamus[6] and Sicyon.
[7] In some account, Metion's father was Eupalamus, son of Erechtheus, instead.
The Metionids later drove King Pandion II out of Athens into exile.
