(), a daughter of king Sithon, in Thrace, fell in
love with Demophon on his return from Troy to Greece. Demophon promised her, by a certain day,
to come back from Athens and marry her, and as he was prevented from keeping his
word, Phyllis hung herself, but was metamorphosed into an almond-tree, just at the moment when
at length Demophon came, and in vain embraced the tree (Lucian, De
Saltat. 40 ; Tzetz. ad Lyc. 495; comp. Hyg.
Fab. 59; Serv. ad Virg. Eclog. 5.10; Ov. Ep.
2). In some of these passages we read the name of Acamas instead of Demophon.
