Saon of Samothrace, also called Samon, son of either Zeus and an unnamed nymph (Nymphe) or of Hermes and Rhene. He was believed to have unified all the inhabitants of the island, who had previously lived in scattered settlements, into one people, which he further subdivided into five tribes named after his sons. He was also said to have established laws for the newly formed people.
