Argynnus

In Greek mythology, Athenaeus tells a tale of how Agamemnon mourned the loss of his friend or lover Argynnus, when he drowned in the Cephisus river.[1] He buried him, honored with a tomb and a shrine to Aphrodite Argynnis.[2] This episode is also found in Clement of Alexandria,[3] in Stephen of Byzantium (Kopai and Argunnos), and in Propertius, III with minor variations.[4]
