2. A son of Deucalion, and father of Meriones. (Fub. 97;
comp. MERIONES.) According to a Cretan legend, he was a son of
Minos, and a brother of Deucalion (Diod. l.c.); and it was said, that as
he had attempted to violate a nymph, he was afterwards found without a head; for at a certain
festival in Crete they showed the image of a man without a head, who was called Molus. (Plut.
De Def. Orac. 13.)
