In Greek mythology, Diochthondas (Ancient Greek: Διοχθώνδας) was a Minyan prince as the son of King Minyas of Orchomenus[1] probably either by Euryale, Clytodora, or Phanosyra, daughter of Paeon. His possible siblings were Clymene,[2] Periclymene,[3] Eteoclymene,[4] Orchomenus, Presbon, Athamas,[5] Elara,[6] Persephone[7] and the Minyades.[8]
