Pandion II was the eighth king of Athens in the traditional line of succession as given by the third century BC Parian Chronicle, the chronographer Castor of Rhodes (probably from the late third-century Eratosthenes) and the Bibliotheca. [4]
Pandion was probably associated in some way with the ancient Athenian festival Pandia, and it is possible that the festival derived its name from Pandion. However, the festival was probably held in honor of Zeus , [ 9 ] and some scholars think it is more likely that the hero derived his name from the festival as its legendary founder. [ 10 ]
