Thelxion (murderer of Apis)
(Redirected from Thelxion of Argos)
In Greek mythology, Thelxion (Ancient Greek: Θελξίων) was the Argive companion of Telchin. Along with his companion, he planned a conspiracy against Apis, the son of Phoroneus, and finally the two killed him. They were in turn slain by Argus Panoptes.[1]
