King of Euboea or (more usually) Nauplia, and a descendent of the above. He was father of Palamedes and Oeax, and one of the Argonauts. His wife was Clymene. His son Palamedes was killed by the Greeks in the Trojan War and, in vengeance, Nauplius set fires on Euboea, misdirecting the Greek ships, many of which sank as a result. (Note: An alternative version says Palamedes was killed by the Trojans.)
Nauplius is a genus in the sunflower family (Asteraceae).

The nauplius is the most primitive crustacean larval type found in existing crustaceans.
In terms of sheer numbers, the crustaceannauplius is considered by some to be the most abundant type of multi-cellular animal on earth and is an important food source for fish and predatory invertebrates.
Besides, Nauplius 1 awaited the return of the Achaean fleet, and with the help of false beacon lights which he kindled in Mount Caphareus in the island of Euboea, he led many vessels against the rocks where they were wrecked and many men perished.
Nauplius 1, who is said to have lived to a great age, was son of Poseidon and Amymone 1, one of the DANAIDS.
Clymene 5, daughter of Catreus, son of King Minos 2 of Crete, was given by her father to Nauplius 1 to be sold in foreign lands.
