In Greek mythology, Salmoneus was the arrogant son of Aeolus and Enarete. He was driven out of Thessaly by his brother, Sisyphus, and went to Elis where he founded the city he called Salmone. Salmoneus was so arrogant he considered himself the equal of Zeus, and was eventually struck down by Zeus with a thunderbolt, and his city similarly destroyed and removed from the landscape.
