In Greek mythology, Arceophon () was a wealthy man of Salamis in Cyprus, son of Minnyrides (), a Phoenician.
== Mythology == Arceophon fell in love with Arsinoë, daughter of King Nicocreon (, Nikokréon) of Salamis (a descendant of Teucer), and wooed her, but Nicocreon refused to give his daughter to Arceophon because of the latter's Phoenician descent. Arceophon was upset and began to come to Arsinoë's house by night, hoping to win her heart, but in vain. He then tried to bribe Arsinoë's nurse so that she might arrange for them to meet, but Arsinoë reported this to her parents, who cut off the nurse's tongue, nose and fingers and drove her out of their house. Having lost every hope, Arceophon died of suicide by starvation. The fellow citizens grieved at his death and buried him with honors. When Arsinoë leaned out of the window to take a look at the funeral ceremony, Aphrodite turned her into stone.
