In Greek mythology, Autesion (Ancient Greek: Αὐτεσίων; gen.: Αὐτεσίωνος), was a king of Thebes. He was the son of Tisamenus, the grandson of Thersander and Demonassa and the great-grandson of Polynices and Argea.
Autesion is called the father of Theras and Argeia, by the latter of whom Aristodemus became the father of Eurysthenes and Procles. Autesion was a native of Thebes, where he had succeeded his father as king, but at the command of an oracle he went to Peloponnesus and joined the Dorians.[1]
Autesion was also the name of a warrior who was killed by Corymbasos (Κορύμβασος), who was a chief of the Indians, in the epic poem Dionysiaca.[2]
