< Charops, son of Methon >

1 Origin

Charops was born in Methone, Macedonia, in 1320 BC.

Since Orpheus, the son of Ismenius, the son of Charops, was a descendant of Methon, it is assumed that Charops' father was Methon, the son of Magnes. [Estimated from Diod.3.65.6 and Tzezes.1.300]

Charops had a son, Ismenius. [Diod.3.65.6]
