Alektryon is a figure in Greek mythology.
By the Peloponnesian War a location on a small island south of Naxos Island was named after him. Though apparently a fishermen's hut, by the time the Spartan misthios Kassandra reached it, the humans laid dead, and the place had become a den of chickens, led by a rooster.[1]

- In Greek mythology, Alektryon was a soldier charged by the god Ares to stand guard while Ares and the goddess Aphrodite had a dalliance. Alektryon however fell asleep, and thus failed to notify the couple of the approaching Helios in time. As a punishment, Ares turned Alektryon into a rooster.
