The name Alcon (/ˈælkɒn/; Ancient Greek: Ἄλκων) or Alco can refer to a number of people from classical myth:

  • Alcon, a Laconian prince as the son of King Hippocoon, usurper of Tyndareus. He was one of the hunters of the Calydonian Boar. Alcon was killed, together with his father and brothers, by Heracles, and had a heroon at Sparta.[1]
  • Alcon, a son of Erechtheus, king of Athens,[2] and father of Phalerus the Argonaut.[3] Gaius Valerius Flaccus represents him as such a skillful archer that once, when a serpent had entwined his son, he shot the serpent without hurting his child.[4] Virgil mentions an Alcon, whom Servius calls a Cretan, and of whom Servius relates almost the same story as that which Valerius Flaccus ascribes to Alcon, the son of Erechtheus.[5]
  • Alcon, son of Abas, king of the Abantes in Euboea and thus, brother to Arethousa and Dias.[6] He may also be a brother to Canethus[7] and Chalcodon,[8] father of Elephenor.
  • Alcon, a son of Ares, and another one of the hunters of the Calydonian Boar, according to Hyginus.[9]
  • Another Alcon is mentioned by Ovid as a craftsman who made a wonderful mixing bowl given to Aeneas by Anius king of Delos.[10]
  • Another, otherwise unknown personage, of the same name occurs in Cicero.[11]
