Stafylos was in the service of the king of Aetolia, Oineas, as a shepherd. As he was herding his goats, he accidentally found a succulent fruit. So,he collected enough and offered them to the king who was really delighted by it. So, he made a juice which he called “oinos-wine” and named these fruit after his shepherd “stafilia-grapes”.
