Iamus

In Greek mythology, Iamus (Ancient Greek: Ἴαμος) was the son of Apollo and Evadne, a daughter of Poseidon, raised by Aepytus. In a story told by Pindar, after his mother lies with Apollo and the child is born, he is left in the wilderness. Here he is raised by a pair of snakes, before being found again after Aepytus upon his visit to the Oracle of Delphi. Iamus was later taken to Olympia by his father, who teaches him ability of prophecy.

He was said to be the ancestor of the Iamidae, a family of seers that operated in Olympia.
