InGreek mythology,Coön (Ancient Greek:Κόων,gen. Κόωνος), also known asCynon (Κύνων),^[1] was the eldest son ofAntenor^[2] andTheano. Like most of his brothers, he fought and fell in theTrojan War.

Coön was the brother ofCrino,^[3]Acamas,^[4][5]Agenor,^[6][7]Antheus,^[8]Archelochus,^[9][10]Demoleon,^[11]Eurymachus,^[12]Glaucus,^[13]Helicaon,^[14]Iphidamas,^[15]Laodamas,^[16][17]Laodocus,^[18]Medon,^[19]Polybus,^[6][20] andThersilochus.^[19]

In theIliad, he confronted Agamemnon over the body of his brother Iphidamas and wounded the opponent in the arm, but Agamemnon struck back and chopped Coön's head off.^[21] The fight between Agamemnon and Coön was depicted on the chest ofCypselus according toPausanias.^[22]
