Earth to Elysian Fields Emathia to Eretria Erginos to Eulimene Eumaios to Exomis
One of the rulers of the city of Salamis on the island of Cyprus; the father of Siromos.
Euelthon is noted for the remarkable censer (an incense burner) he dedicated to the temple at Delphi and also as the ruler who rebuked the requests of the refugee from Libya, Pheretime, when she asked Euelthon to supply her with an army so that her son might reclaim his throne in Kyrene (Cyrene).
Euelthon gave Pheretime many gifts but would not give her an army; to make his point perfectly clear, he finally gave her some wool, a golden spindle and distaff thus informing her that these were the proper gifts for a woman.
