Leucopeus
In Greek mythology, Leucopeus (Ancient Greek: Λευκωπεύς, romanized: Leukōpeús, lit. 'white-faced' or 'pale-faced'[1]) was a Calydonian prince as the son of King Porthaon and Euryte. He was the brother of Oeneus (successor of their father as king of Calydon), Agrius, Alcathous, Melas, and Sterope.[2]
Note
[edit]- ↑ The name is a compound derived from two distinct ancient Greek roots — Λευκός (Leukós), meaning "white", "bright", or "clear" and Ὤψ (Ops, genitive ōpós), meaning "face", "eye", or "countenance".
