From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


In Greek mythology, Olynthus (Ancient Greek: Ὄλυνθος) was a son of Heracles and
Bolbe, from whom the ancient city of Olynthus, and the river Olynthus near
Apollonia, were believed to have received their name according to Athenaeus.[1]
According to Conon[2] and Stephanus of Byzantium,[3] Olynthus was son of king
Strymon, and brother of Brangas and Rhesus.[2]


MYTHOLOGY[EDIT]

After Olynthus was killed during the chase by a lion, his brother Brangas buried
him on the spot where he had fallen, and called the town which he subsequently
built there Olynthus.
