Agemon

Agemon (Ancient Greek Ἀγεμών Agemṓn, German 'leader', also Agamon) is a king of Corinth in Greek mythology.

He is the son of Eudaimus and bodyguard to Telestes, son of his brother Aristomedes. When his brother, the reigning king of Corinth, dies, his son is still a child, which is why Agemon seizes power. After him, Agemon's son Alexander ascended the throne of Corinth. After Eusebius of Caesarea he reigned for 16 years.
