EspañolPHOCUS
In Greek mythology, two different people bore the name 'Phocus'.
#A 'Phocus', son of Aeacus and Psamathe. He was a strong athlete and this ability arose the jealousy of his half-brothers, Peleus and Telamon. Phocus was killed by one his half-brothers, and his body was hidden in the woods. The tradition varies at this point: 1. Telamon threw a quoit at his head. 2. Telemaon killed him with a spear while hunting. 3. Peleus killed him, to please his mother, Endeis. Other sources say that (whoever brother was responsible) it was an accident. He had one son: Panopeus.
#A son of Poseidon, this 'Phocus' founded the city of Phocis, which was named after him. He was a successful fisherman who earned the jealousy of his fellows. They conspired to drown him, but when they pushed him into the sea, far out from shore, his father Poseidon transformed him into a seal.
