Autesion only appears in the Histories as a patronymic: father of the legendary Spartan queen ARGEIA (6.52.2) and of THERAS, founder of THERA (4.147.1). He was the great‐grandson of the mythical Theban POLYNEICES; a later source relates that Autesion was pursued by the Erinyes (FURIES) of LAÏUS and OEDIPUS (Paus. 9.5.14–15).
