Bucolion

In Greek mythology, Bucolion (Ancient Greek: Βουκολίωνας) or Boucolides was the eldest, but illegitimate, son of the Trojan king Laomedon and the nymph Calybe. His wife was the naiad Abarbarea, and they had at least two sons, Aesepus and Pedasus. Aesepus and Pedasus participated in the Trojan War, and the family is mentioned in the Iliad, Book VI. According to Tzetzes, Bucolion and Abarbarea were the parents of the Trojan hero Euphorbus who was otherwise known as the son of Panthous and Phrontis.[1]

Euryalus killed Dresus, Opheltius,   
then charged after Aesepus and Pedasus,
whom the naiad nymph Abararea bore 
to noble Boucolion, son of high-born Laomedon, 
his eldest son. His mother bore Pedasus secretly.
Bucolion had had sex with the nymph
while tending to his flock.  She became pregnant,
then gave birth to twin sons.

Iliad Book 6, 20
