The king of the island of Kos (Cos); husband of the nymph, Ethemea, and father of Eumelus.
When Ethemea was slain by the goddess Artemis for irreverence, Merops became so distraught that he tried to kill himself but was transformed into an eagle by Hera and placed among the stars.
In the play, Helen by Euripides, Helen compares herself to Merops and declares that he is lucky because he has found an end to his suffering but her misery seems eternal.
