{{Short description|Mythical son of Teleon}} In Greek mythology, '''Eribotes''' (Ancient Greek: Ἐρυβώτης) was a Locrian who was counted among the Argonauts. He was the son of Teleon.<ref>Apollonius Rhodius, ''Argonautica'', 1. 72</ref><ref>Gaius Valerius Flaccus, ''Argonautica'', 1. 402</ref>
== Mythology == Eribotes appears to have had skills of a physician: in the ''Argonautica'', he attends on Oileus when the latter is wounded by a feather of a Stymphalian bird.<ref>Apollonius Rhodius, ''Argonautica'' 2.1039</ref>
One the return trip, Eribotes along with Canthus died. They were slain in Libya by the shepherd Cephalion, son of the nymph Tritonis and Amphithemis, whose flocks they were plundering.<ref>Hyginus, ''Fabulae'', 14</ref>
