In Greek mythology, Scephrus (Ancient Greek: Σκέφρος) was the son Tegeates and Maera, and the brother of Leimon.[1] When Apollo and Artemis visited the land of Tegea, Scephrus came to the god and had a private conversation with him; Leimon, thinking that they were plotting against him, reacted by murdering his brother.[2] To punish the death of Scephrus, Artemis shot Leimon dead afterwards.[3] Following this, at the Tegean festival of Apollo Agyieus, one part of the proceedings honoured Scephrus.[4]
