“In Greek mythology, Agron(Ancient Greek: Ἄγρων, lit. 'wild' or 'rustic') was a son of Eumelus and brother of Byssa and Meropis. The family dwelt at Meropis in Kos and worshipped Gaia, who rewarded them with all kinds of goods. However, they were quite impious towards other gods”

“Byssa was the daughter of Eumelus and the sister of Meropis and Agron. Byssa with her family dwelled with Meropis on Kos island, and though they honored the local Koan goddess, they refused to venerate Artemis, Athena and Hermes.”
