Samos

Samos was an island off the western coast of Asia Minor between Ephesus and Miletus. It was named after Samia, daughter of the river-god Maeander. Samia married one of the Argonauts named Ancaeüs, a Lelegian king of Samos.

Ancaeüs became the Argo's second helmsman after Tiphys drowned one night. It was prophesied that he would be killed by a wild boar before he could taste a single drop of his wine. After returning home from his adventure with the Argonauts, as his lips touched his cup of wine, he heard a wild boar enter his vineyard. He left his wine, untouched, and took up his spear to confront the boar. Ancaeüs was killed by the boar and the prophecy was fulfilled.
