He and his siblings were the most nefarious and carefree of all people. To test them, Zeus visited them in the form of a peasant. These brothers mixed the entrails of a child into the god's meal, whereupon the enraged Zeus threw the meal over the table. Canethus was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.
  • Canethus, son of the Euboean Abas and father of the Argonaut Canthus, as well as eponym of a mountain near Chalcis.
