(), a son of Erechtheus and Praxithea, and husband
of Alcippe. His sons, the Metionidae, expelled their cousin Pandion front his kingdom of
Athens, but were themselves afterwards expelled by the sons of Pandion (Apollod. 3.15. §§ 1, 5. 6. 8; Paus.
1.5.3). Diodorus (4.76) calls Daedalus one of the sons of
Metion, and Metion himself a son of Eupalamus and grandson of Erechtheus (comp.
Plat. Ion, p. 533a.; Paus. 7.4.5).
Apollodorus (3.15.8) on the other hand, calls Eupalamus a son
of Metion and father of Daedalus. According to a Sicyonian legend, Sicyon also was a son of
Metion and a grandson of Erechtheus. (Paus. 2.6.3; comp. Schol.
ad Soph. Oed. Col. 468, who calls the wife of Metion Iphinoe.)
