Phrasimus

In the genealogical narratives preserved for the kings and noble houses of Attica, Phrasimus is presented as an Athenian mortal who married Diogenia, daughter of the river-god Cephisus, and fathered Praxithea; Praxithea subsequently becomes the wife of Erechtheus of Athens. This placement situates Phrasimus in the generational sequence that links local river-divinities to the legendary ruling house of Athens, as summarized in accounts of early Attic kings (cf. Apollodorus' genealogical material as presented in modern summaries).

The available sources provide no physical description or iconographic details for Phrasimus; he appears only within genealogical lists and narrative summaries as a named mortal husband and father, without attendant traits or likenesses recorded in the cited material.

No supernatural abilities, powers, or remarkable deeds are attributed to Phrasimus in the supplied sources. His role in the tradition is genealogical and etiological—serving to connect a river-god's lineage (through his wife) to later royal families—rather than as an active heroic or divine actor.
