Amarynthus

Amarynthus (Gr. ) was in Greek mythology a hunter of Artemis, from whom the town of Amarynthus in Euboea (Stephanus of Byzantium says that it was Euboea itself) was be­lived to have derived its name. From this hero, or rather from the town of Amarynthus, Artemis derived the surname Amarynthia or Amarysia, under which she was wor­shipped there and also in Attica.
