Portha'on

（Πορθάων).

1. A son of Agenor and Epicaste, was king of Pleuron and Calydon in Aetolia, and married to Euryte, by whom he became the father of Oeneus, Agrius, Alcathous, Melas, Leucopeus, and Sterope. (Hom. Il. 14.115, &c.; Apollod. 1.7.7, &c.; Paus. 4.35.1, 6.20.8, 21.7; Hyg. Fab. 175.) It should be observed that his name is sometimes written Portheus (Heyne ad Apollod. l.c.), and under this name he is mentioned by Antonius Liberalis (2) who calls him a son of Ares.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
