Cycnus (Son of Poseidon)

Cycnus was a Greek mortal.
==Mythology==
===Birth and Upbringing===
At birth, Cycnus was abandoned by his mother and was fed by gulls until he was found by fishermen that raised him as their own child.
===Second Marriage===
Cycnus' second wife's name was Philonome and she fell in love with her step-son, Tenes. When Tenes refused her advances, she told Cycnus that he had tried to advance on her. Angered by this, Cycnus put both of his children in a chest and threw it into the sea. Later, Cycnus discovered what Philonome had done and he had her buried alive.
===Death===
During the Trojan War, Poseidon made Cycnus invulnerable but he was eventually killed during a battle with Achilles by strangling him or crushing him. Poseidon then turned Cycnus into a swan.
