He fades into obscurity but his sons later drove King Pandion II out of Athens into exile. Among these sons are listed Eupalamus, Sicyon, and Daedalus who are also given other parentages.
In any case the usurping parties were in turn overthrown by the sons of Pandion,
Metion, who married Alcippe, daughter of Aglaurus (one of the daughters of the first Cecrops) and Ares, with whom he had several sons who later evicted Pandion, the son of their uncle Cecrops, from Athens and took over kingship.
Metion was also the father of Eupalamus and grandfather of Dædalus (though other traditions reverse the position of Eupalamus and Metion and give the later as son of the former and father of Dædalus,
Metion is also sometime given as the father of Sicyon, the eponym and founder of the city by that name in northern Peloponnese.
