In Greek mythology, Licymnius (/lɪˈsɪmniəs/; Greek: Λικύμνιος) was a good friend of Heracles and an illegitimate son of Electryon, King of Tiryns and Mycenae in the Argolid (which makes him half-brother of Alcmene, mother of Heracles). His mother is given as Mideia, a Phrygian woman.[1][2] One source mentions Alco (Ἀλκώ) as his sister.[3]
