The island has taken it's name from an ancient myth.

The myth talks about Kefalos who didn't respond to the love of goddess Io and she made him suspicious for his wife Prokris in revenge. Thus he appeared veiled in front of Prokris and he make her his mistress. When Kefalos revealed his identity, Prokris run away in tears. Therefore turned to the love of the goddess.

When Prokris found out, full of jealousness, begun to secretly look after him. During a hunt she hide behind a bush. Kefalos saw the bush moving and thinking it's an animal he throu an arrow and he killed Prokris.

Unconsoled he self-exiled away from Attiki. By helping Amfitrion in the battles against Tilevoes and Tafiois, he earned his sympathy and gratitude. For that Amfitrion gave him as a reward the island that took his name.
