In
Greek mythology,
Agron was a son of Eumelus and brother of Byssa and Meropis. The family dwelt at Meropis in
Kos and worshipped
Gaia, who rewarded them with all kinds of goods. However, they were quite impious towards other gods and never participated in religious festivals. Agron was especially disrespectful towards
Athena,
Artemis and
Hermes, and whenever someone invited him or his sisters to take part in a ritual in honor of one of these gods, he would decline the invitation and scorn the deities.
