In the Greek Mythology, Phobétor (in Greek old Φοβητώρ / Phobêtốr , “the Alarming one”) or Icélos ( Ἴκελος / Ícelos , “the Similar one”) is a Oneiroi. It is quoted only by Ovide in its Métamorphoses , which makes of it the son of Hypnos and the companion of its brothers Morphée and Phantasos:

“Another imitates the quadrupeds, the birds, and of the snakes the tortuous folds. The gods name it Icélos, the Phobétor mortals. ”
(XI, 640-642; transl. G.T. Villenave, Paris, 1806)
